Kriget mot terrorismen ur ett genusperspektiv
I tider av hot och osäkerhet tenderar människor att söka sig till det som är bekant, tryggt och igenkännbart. Traditionella uppfattningar om genus kan vara en viktig del i en sådan reaktion. I en ny bok visar Anna T. Höglund att detta var precis vad som hände i USA efter terrorattentaten den 11 september 2001.

Etiska koder leder inte alltid rätt
Det har blivit allt vanligare att forskare inom alla fält använder sig av etiska koder för att inte hamna fel. Nu visar en studie från CRB att etiska koder och riktlinjer inom medicinsk verksamhet inte alltid leder dit man tänkt sig, det vill säga vägleder sjuksköterskor och läkare moraliskt. Studien har finansierats av Riksbankens Jubileumsfond.

Is Medical Ethics Really in the Best Interest of the Patient?

Uppsala Konsert & Kongress, 14-16 June 2010

This multi-disciplinary international conference will raise questions about some of the key ethical issues of concern regarding medical research. The possibility to increase knowledge about diagnosis, prevention and treatment of disease is the primary motive of medical research. Ethics is there in order to protect patients and promote their interests. But is medical ethics instrumental to this end?

International collaboration to meet ethical challenges

How do we meet the ethical challenges posed by stem cell research and other developments in the life sciences? How do we manage an ageing society? Uppsala University and Newcastle University have formed a strategic collaboration to meet these and other ethical challenges.
