The bio-ethics site is a website which acts as an electronic venue for
education and discussion about the emerging ethical questions in
international health research within a context of changing medical
technologies and globalization. An on-line educational course is offered
that studies ethical issues arising as more health research is conducted
in developing countries, reflect differences in cultures, politics,
wealth, standards of care, individual and group rights, and priorities.
This site is part of the Program on Ethical Issues in International
Health Research at the Harvard School of Public Health.
