This paper opens a critical conversation about the ethics of international bioethics conferencing and proposes principles that commit to being anti-discriminatory, global, and inclusive. We launch this conversation in the Section, Case Study, with a case example involving the International Association of Bioethics' (IAB's) selection of Qatar to host the 2024 World Congress of Bioethics. IAB's choice of Qatar sparked controversy. We believe it also may reveal deeper issues of Islamophobia in bioethics. The Section, Principles for International Bioethics Conferencing, sets forth and defends proposed principles for international bioethics conferencing. The Section, Applying Principles to Site Selection applies the proposed principles to the case example. The Section, Applying Principles Beyond Site Selection addresses other applications of the proposed principles. The Section, Objections responds to objections. We close (in the Section, Conclusion) by calling for a wider discussion of our proposed principles. How should bioethicists navigate the ethics of global bioethics conferencing?
本文就国际生物伦理学会议的伦理问题展开了批判性讨论，并提出了一些承诺反歧视、具有全球性和包容性的原则。我们在案例研究部分用一个案例来启动这一讨论，该案例涉及国际生物伦理学协会（IAB）选择卡塔尔主办 2024 年世界生物伦理学大会。IAB 选择卡塔尔引发了争议。我们认为，这也可能揭示了生物伦理学中更深层次的反伊斯兰恐惧症问题。国际生物伦理学会议原则部分提出并捍卫了国际生物伦理学会议的拟议原则。案例选择中的应用原则部分将拟议原则应用于案例。案例选择之外的应用原则部分则涉及拟议原则的其他应用。反对意见部分回应了反对意见。我们在结论部分呼吁更广泛地讨论我们提出的原则。生物伦理学家应该如何应对全球生物伦理学会议的伦理问题？
