Abstract
Bioethical Implications of Globalization: An International Consortium Project of the European Commission
Highlights
The term “globalization” was popularized by Marshall McLuhan in War and Peace in the Global Village
The Bioethical Implications of Globalization (BIG) Project is a 42-month dialogue funded by the European Commission that involves a series of expert panel discussions on four specific globalization and health subject areas: (1) mobility of people; (2) technological globalization; (3) liberalization of trade; and (4) new global health threats
The BIG Project seeks to guide these processes in four selected areas of interest to the European Union (EU), so that the project results may be helpful to policy makers at local, national, and international levels
Summary
Bioethical Implications of Globalization: An International Consortium Project of the European Commission. Concerns for national health transcend borders, with a need for shared human security and an enhanced role for international cooperation and development [2]. These issues have significant bioethical implications, and a renewed academic focus on the ethical dimensions of public health is needed. Future developments in science and health policy require a firm grounding in bioethical principles. These core principles include beneficence; nonmaleficence (to do no harm); respect for persons and human dignity (autonomy); and attention to equity and social justice. The process ends with analysis of the answers and formulation of the final report
