The next World Congress of Bioethics will be held in Doha, Qatar. Although this location provides opportunities to interact with a more culturally diverse audience, to advance dialogue between cultures and religions, offer opportunities for mutual learning, there are also huge moral concerns. Qatar is known for violations of human rights - including the treatment of migrant workers and the rights of women - corruption, criminalization of LGBTQI+ persons, and climate impact. Since these concerns are also key (bio)ethical concern we call for a broad debate within the bioethics community whether organizing and attending the World Congress in Qatar is ethically problematic and how ethical concerns should be dealt with.
下一届世界生物伦理大会将在卡塔尔多哈举行。尽管这个地点提供了与文化背景更多样化的受众互动的机会，推动不同文化和宗教之间的对话，提供相互学习的契机，但也存在巨大的道德问题。卡塔尔因侵犯人权——包括对待移民工人和妇女权利——、腐败、将 LGBTQI+ 群体定罪以及气候影响而闻名。由于这些问题也是关键的（生物）伦理问题，我们呼吁生物伦理学界进行广泛辩论，讨论在卡塔尔举办和参加世界大会在伦理上是否存在问题，以及应如何处理伦理问题。
