Conference
Intergenerational Issues in Health Care Ethics: Responsibility, Solidarity, and Sustainability
Time: 16th-18th October 2024
Venue: Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg/Institute of Advanced Studies, Lehmkuhlenbusch 4, 27753 Delmenhorst, Germany
Organization: Research network Arbeitsgemeinschaft für intergenerationelle Gesundheitsethik (AiG)
Current challenges in health care ethics show that intergenerational perspectives are becoming increasingly relevant, for example in the ethical analysis of problems such as the future of biomedical research, the post-antibiotic era, and public health-measures in pandemic combat. However, in these approaches, there is the need for clarification of fundamental concepts such as responsibility, solidarity, and sustainability, as well as the concept of generation itself.
Against this backdrop, this three-day interdisciplinary and international conference addresses intergenerational issues in health care ethics. It is organized in three sessions on responsibility, solidarity and sustainability. It aims to explore how normative aspects of responsibility, solidarity and sustainability between present and future generations can be ethically investigated. In order to understand intergenerational relations adequately, the notions of „collectives“ and „generations“ need to be explained within their temporal and spatial frames. The conference aims to explore and discuss their normative foundations.
Confirmed speakers (in alphabetical order): Dieter Birnbacher, Angus James Dawson, Nancy Jecker, Federica Lucivero, Christian Munthe, Bridget Pratt, Cristina Richie, David Schweikard (see link below for the full program with a timetable and titles of specific papers).
Young scholars are invited to apply for a poster presentation and in addition, for a travel and accommodation grant to the conference. The poster presentation should address one of the following or any closely related questions relevant to the issues of responsibility, solidarity, and sustainability that could be relevant in health care ethics:
– How do we define collectives or generations?
– What are the collectives with which we act in solidarity? And to what extent does one generation have collective responsibility for another generation?
– How can global responsibility be linked to present people and intergenerational responsibility?
– What is the normative importance of time horizons in health care decisions?
– What are normatively justified time horizons for intergenerational responsibility?
– How can the health care needs of today’s patients be reconciled with the possible needs of future patients?
