Kiwi Philosopher to Head Up United Nations Think Tank!
An Otago University philosopher has been appointed to head a world-leading bioethics organisation.
Professor Donald Evans was elected president of the International Bioethics Committee (IBC) of the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) at a meeting of the group in Mexico last month.
The IBC follows developments in the life sciences sector to ensure respect for human dignity and freedom.
The committee is made up of 36 international experts, recruiting them equally from the worlds of science, research, health, law and government.
Committee members include field-leading scientists, former ambassadors and ministers, a judge from the International Court at the Hague, an Australian High Court Justice and a member of the Nobel Prize selection panel.
As there are a number of Christian bloggers who may be familiar with this individual and may have some thoughts as it relates to this appointment, it would be good to hear from those in the know about Professor Donald Evans, and from anyone else!
