In 2022, the International Association of Bioethics (IAB) announced that the 17th World Congress of Bioethics would be held in Doha, Qatar. In response to ethical concerns expressed about the Qatar selection, the IAB Board of Directors developed and posted to the IAB website a response using a Q&A format. In this Letter, we (the IAB President and Vice President) address concerns about the ethics of bioethics conferencing raised in a 2023 Letter to the Editor of Bioethics by Van der Graaf et al. We do not represent the Board of Directors, and this Letter expresses solely our own views.
2022 年，国际生命伦理学协会（IAB）宣布第十七届世界生命伦理学大会将在卡塔尔多哈举行。针对卡塔尔被选中一事引发的伦理问题，IAB 理事会以问答形式制定并在 IAB 网站上发布了一份回应。在这封信中，我们（IAB 主席和副主席）针对范德格拉夫等人 2023 年致《生物伦理学》编辑的信中提出的生命伦理学会议伦理问题表达了关切。我们不代表理事会，本函仅代表我们自己的观点。
