The UNESCO Chair in Bioethics and Human Rights (www.unescobiochair.org) organized a workshop on “Bioethics, Multiculturalism and Religion” and the papers submitted here form the collection of this edited volume. This UNESCO Chair was established in 2009 with two Roman universities. It offers a university framework of reflection and study, providing information and fostering the application of bioethical principles in science, medicine and new technologies based on the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights. Through integral education, research and information, it seeks to contribute toward the recognition and promotion of a global and integral vision of bioethics, bringing to light universal values and principles as well as social and legal implications in relation to human rights. By creating a community of persons who are interested in these values, it seeks to promote cultural dialogue and encounters in a spirit of solidarity.
