This group is intended for students at school and university level to correspond with each other about bioethics issues.

The international bioethics education project was started by Darryl Macer at Eubios Ethics Institute, Thailand/Japan/New Zealand in 1993, with surveys and research on the extent of bioethics across the world. It continued under his coordination at UNESCO Bangkok, Thailand, until he left UNESCO, and resumed in March 2013 with Eubios Ethics Institute.

This project has also produced teaching materials for bioethics education in different countries, for school and university classes. There are various types of classes the materials have been used in. In 2004 and in 2006 compilations of these materials were published. The latest, A Cross-Cultural Introduction to Bioethics, Darryl R.J. Macer, Ph.D. (Editor), Eubios Ethics Institute, 2006; can be downloaded in a growing number of languages from <http://www.eubios.info>
We welcome feedback. Some of the issues are controversial, but a balanced approach to these issues is needed, as education should prepare citizens for difficult moral dilemmas that they may face in their life.

Please also see the group, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Bioethicseducation/, for discussion among researchers, policy-makers, teachers and coordinators about the teaching materials.
