Global Bioethics Collective’s International Virtual Symposium: Register by Sept 7

About the Global Bioethics Collective (GBC)

Global Bioethics Collective (GBC) was conceptualized by Anamika Krishnan, an attorney, and a published author in the field of Feminist Bioethics. The initiative is expected to be a learning experience for students in Philosophy, Medicine, and Law. The platform encourages alternate approaches to the discipline of bioethics and legal scholarship. The Center for Law, Governance, and Policy (CLGPS) is a think tank of His Highness Maharajas Government Law College, Ernakulam, India. It is a platform to forge ties between the college and the civil society for a purposive dialogue regarding law and policy matters. His Highness Maharajas Government Law College, Ernakulam is a premier, public institution of legal learning, more than a century old, which has walked alongside the momentous and critical phases of the socio-economic-political journey of the State of Kerala.

Questions in Bioethics include but are not limited to the end-of-life debate, assisted reproductive technologies, procreation and abortion, organ transplants, drug trials, public health, environmental issues, and population control. The pandemic has taught us that the androcentric narration disregards the factors like illiteracy, gender, race, social status, and economic background in the society. This symposium seeks to revisit what went wrong in our healthcare structures and legal frameworks across the world, how long it has been so, and why we continue to dwell in such dilapidated systems.
