press release bioethanol - See Section University of secular bioethics A. Vitelli di Torino


Chieri, May 19, 2010

bioethanol - part of a university of secular bioethics See A. Calves - Calls the Show the Ghetto, Via Della Pace 8, Chieri, where, starting at 21, the conference will be held end of life issues of: vegetative state and brain death. The speakers will be Prof. Maurizio Mori (Professor of Bioethics at the University of Turin and President of the Consulta Bioethics Onlus) and Don Giuseppe Zeppegno ( scientific director of the Master in Bioethics at the Faculty of Theology in Turin vice president of Bioethics & People).
The theme of the meeting is brain death, its definition and its validity and the difference between this, the permanent vegetative state and coma.
The media information in a few moments is proposed as Speaker of bioethical issues, but in a very planned and often misused, creating confusion public opinion.

We can not therefore be surprised that there are still many difficulties in making it clear to people the difference between the vegetative state and the various types of coma and between and brain death. However, not only contributes to the media information one confusion, but also politics and local government, as in the case of Chieri, where the Department of Culture has decided, so instrumental and preconceived that certain issues should not be debated, in fact, the bioethical issues in our town can be treated from a single point of view, preventing the other items to find space and word, so it hinders the fecundity of debate, so the free information and free opinion.

We talk about a dialectic of confrontation, but in fact it does not hinder any ideas approved the system of the majority, it is inevitable that a flattening on stagnant positions that can not make any progress in human thought. bioethanol aims to contribute to the bioethical debate by organizing meetings territory and universities in order to rebalance a partial information and often instrumental. We believe, therefore, that even in Chieri is necessary to open the discussion on these issues, so we decided to organize the conference that discussed above. It will precisely the purpose of clarifying the issues, terminology and to show thanks to speakers, some of the positions in the Italian bioethics. Thus, ensuring plurality and freedom of the debate, we intend to publicize this regard.
