The Congress in Brazil will approach the theme of diversity
The theme of the Congress that will be held in Brazil - São Paulo is about the Clinical Bioethics in Diversity. A central philosophy issue for this field is whether there is or is not a single canonical method for clinical ethics that can solve the ethical problems in all institutional scenarios. Some believe that a method of universal human rights or a method based on common morality will provide this basis. Others recognize that there are various moral communities and that the particular and real value commitments of these communities are so complex and involving that should be taken into account. Beyond these comprehensive issues, there are differences arising among legal jurisdictions, and process and procedure differences among the institutions that make the provision of ethical advisory services much more complicated than frequently appreciated. Understanding how these differences form ethical advisory and to what extent they change the regulatory foundations of that field will be doubtlessly an exciting component for this Congress.

Goals of the Conferences
The main goal of the conferences is to promote the development of the field of clinical ethics and ethical advisory. A second goal is to internationally promote clinical ethics and allow debates under an interdisciplinary focus upon which experts can approach common themes and issues from their professional experiences. It is important that these conferences are not centered on the individual agendas of private institutions or professional societies. For such, we believe that we will show significant progress against the academic and interdisciplinary debate upon which clinical ethics and ethical advisory will be discussed particularly and comprehensively.
