Introduction to Bioethics for the Biosafety Professional and Researcher

What moral questions must we confront in biosafety? How do we determine the correct answers to those questions? How do we resolve disagreements about those answers? Over this half-day workshop, participants will explore not only their own moral judgments in specific cases but the sources of disagreement about those judgments, as well. First, we will identify the moral principles that underlie our moral judgments in specific cases, as well as discuss common (but often unseen) tensions within our own individual ethical systems. Once those tensions are identified, we will explore strategies for resolving them. Then, we will apply those strategies to specific problems in biosafety. Participants will have an opportunity to discuss and work through their own examples they would like to consider in this context. Participants are welcome to raise questions, suggest moral problems (real or hypothetical) they might encounter, and reflect on how they might identify and resolve ethical problems in biosafety in the future. Upon completion of this seminar, participants will be able to:

1. Identify the moral principles that underlie moral judgments in specific cases.
2. Identify conflicts that arise between those principles, or between those principles
   and the judgments they yield in specific cases in biosafety.
3. Develop strategies for resolving ethical disagreements within the field of biosafety.
