Happy EESTECers,

Our dear friends in EMSA (European Medical Students' Association) have invited us to their event European Week of Ethics "Genetics", which will be held 2nd- 7th September 2010 in Vienna, Austria.

Have you always wanted to know more about the latest developments within medicine or the ethical issues here? Or would you like to know how doctors can act more responsible in their fields using moral competences?
Join the European Week of Ethics!

The first European Week of Ethics, will be held from 2-7 September 2010 in Vienna.

Aim of the European Week of Ethics is to let members of different students' organizations learn more about the latest developments within different fields of medicine and discuss the ethical issues which might arise and the moral competences which should be used.

The theme of this week will be “Ethics in Genetics” and will be organized by AMSA (Austrian Medical Students' Association).
Genetics in medicine is an imaginative theme, which is still largely unknown, but which science is exploring massively! After all, who has knowledge about DNA, has got the world in his hands! Developments will have major implications for the development of new drugs and therapies in the oncology and for infectious diseases like HIV. But these developments will also have implications for prenatal diagnosis and perhaps it will be possible for parents to decide which characteristics their children
should have in the future!

The ethical questions concerning “research, social impact and law” will be discussed during this interesting week! For further information visit ems.amsa.at

The participation fee for this event is 160 EUR.
The deadline for applications is 30th July.
