Abstract
Abstract COMEST, an acronym for the French name of the World Commission on the Ethics of Scientific Knowledge and Technology [1], is an advisory body within United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and a forum of reflection, “mandated to formulate ethical principles that could provide decision-makers with criteria that extend beyond purely economic considerations.” [2] Over the years, the Commission has addressed ethical issues in many areas where science and technology have an impact on people, nature, and society. The deliberations result in reports, which are put forward to the biannual General Conference of UNESCO for discussion and adoption. The outcome has often been ethical recommendations and guidelines to consider and hopefully abide to so that science can interact with society in a responsible way and without adverse consequences.
