The Inaugural Conference of the Australasian Association of Bioethics
and Health Law
1-4 July 2010
The University of Adelaide, South Australia
It is with great pleasure that we invite you to participate in the
inaugural annual Conference of the Australasian Association of Bioethics
and Health Law [AABHL] in July 2010. The AABHL will replace the
Australasian Bioethics Association and Australasian and New Zealand
Institute of Health Law and Ethics which have traditionally held joint
meetings.
The Conference will be held at the University of Adelaide North Terrace
campus, South Australia, commencing Thursday evening and concluding
Sunday with lunch. The venue will confirmed shortly. An optional day
tour of McLaren Vale, one of Australia's best known and most historic
wine regions will be available Thursday prior to the commencement of
sessions.
Theme:
Choice... do we have any?
Who chooses what is ethical? Who should choose? What shapes choice?
Researchers, practitioners, politicians, lawyers and commercial
interests have an impact on matters that the community might consider to
be their choice. How do we ensure the public is informed about and
engaged with the work of bioethics? The 2010 AABHL Conference will
explore questions of choice across many settings from:
*The theoretical to the practical
*Research to application
*Law to policy and practice
The Conference will bring together representatives from around
Australia, the Pacific and Asia for a series of plenary lectures and
contributed papers that will ensure a vibrant and exciting program.
Call for abstracts now available; deadline for submission is 12 March 2010
