Mission statement:	Global Bioethics Initiative (GBI) is dedicated to fostering public awareness and understanding of bioethical issues, and to exploring solutions to bioethical challenges. GBI has established four goals to achieve its mission: to promote interdisciplinary research and provide the public with information pertaining to bioethical issues; to engage a broader audience in public debates on emerging technologies and their potential impact; to collaborate with policy makers, including those at the United Nations (UN) and its agencies to identify solutions to global health problems; to encourage international debates at the intersection of health, biotechnology and medicine. Focus Issues: Human organ transplantation and trafficking, ethical issues surrounding end-of-life care, ethical issues related to Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART), regenerative medicine and healthy aging. Values: Justice, Transparency, Collaboration, Compassion, Flexibility. Through its events and activities, GBI seeks to keep the international community, policy decision-makers, the media, and the general public informed and aware of important bioethical issues. Such awareness is essential for making informed decisions and fostering public debate. It is through such debate that old practices and beliefs are challenged, and new social norms are formed. Using various platforms, we at GBI are able to promote our motto "Doing Bioethics in real life!" Please visit our general website: www.globalbioethics.org, and our Summer School website, www.summerschool.bioethics.org.
