On the last day of the 2nd International Medical Ethics Congress, the foreign guests of the congress reflected upon the congress in answer to the questions put forward by the representative of TUMS’ Public Relations office. Below are the comments of one of guests from Switzerland.
Q- Would you please introduce yourself and talk about your field of study?
A- My name is Roberto Andorno. I am a doctor of law and I work in the field of bioethics and international law. I am a researcher at the University of Zurich in Switzerland. I have been a member of the UNESCO International Bioethics Committee.
Q- What’s your general evaluation of the whole congress?
A- It’s been very pleasing for me in a unique experience to learn something from the Iranian culture’s point of view and also Islam and I was impressed because (I found) the field of medical ethics to be very important here and there are many people working in this field and the students are very interested in this area.
Q- Thank you sir. Do you have any suggestions for upcoming congresses to be held in Iran? Any topics to include?
A- I think more specific issues on doctor-patient relationship and then the relationship of Islam and bioethics would be interesting, (I mean) the more precise aspects and points that are important for Islamic bioethics, maybe to develop a little more.
Q- How do you see Tehran University of Medical Sciences in particular and Iranians in general?
A- For somebody who has been here just for three days and has been to the airport, hotel and conference center, it’s a developed society and much more than one can expect.
- Thank you sir for the time you provided.
