The problems of personhood with which this conference--and our society--grapples are significantly interwoven with modern medicine, its technology, and its science. More importantly, the conceptual language and recurrect themes of personhood questions are shaped by moral philosophers and jurists: "individualism" and "connectedness" are at the core of debates. Existing institutional arrangements have been inadequate to arrive at an effective societal consensus.
本次会议——以及我们的社会——所面临的人格问题与现代医学、其技术和科学紧密交织。更重要的是，人格问题的概念性语言和反复出现的主题是由道德哲学家和法学家塑造的：“个人主义”和“关联性”是辩论的核心。现有的制度安排不足以达成有效的社会共识。
