Bioethics
Over the next decade life-changing biotechnologies will emerge, with potentially significant impact on the European society. On issues related to new technologies and ethics, CEC regularly monitors and contributes to the work of the European Institutions, and holds participatory status at the Committee on Bioethics (DH-BIO) of the Council of Europe.
Our work seeks to increase cooperation among churches and church organisations, including ethics committees, universities, research centres, and academics.
Thematic Group on Science, New Technologies and Christian Ethics facilitates CEC’s work.
For more information about our work in this area, please contact Rev. Sören Lenz.
