Summary: | Our global knowledge of different cultures and the diversity of values increases almost daily. New challenges arise for ethics.

Science and technology are rapidly advancing beyond discussions and corresponding political struggles over human rights, leaving those debates behind. This rapid development of science is at odds with the principle of sustained development that calls for measured and thoughtful planning, such that no new idea should rupture the delicate fabric of communities, environment, and cultural evolution. |
