Health, Culture and the Human Body  Epidemiology, ethics and history
of medicine, perspectives from Central Europe and Turkey 

Reminder and final call for abstracts
An international and interdisciplinary conference on
Health, Culture and the Human Body 
Epidemiology, ethics and history of medicine, perspectives from
Central Europe and Turkey 
Mainz, Germany, 17-19 September 2010

New developments in medicine, preventive and therapeutic
interventions are raising novel ethical questions in societies
undergoing fast demographic change at home while participating in
global interactions through travel and migration. Diverse
value-cultures may affect the responses to well-established themes in
medicine, giving rise to complex ethical debates and different legal
regulations.

This conference will focus on selected cases from Turkey, Germany,
and other countries closely connected by substantial migration
processes, and previously by medical sciences and clinical practice.
These interactions will be analysed jointly from historical,
epidemiological, and ethical perspectives, paving the way for the
implementation of an interdisciplinary “medicine studies” approach in
the field of intercultural and migration medicine.

The chosen thematic areas are:

HIV/AIDS)
* 	the end of life (e.g., patient autonomy vs. family autonomy,
advance directives, active and passive euthanasia, palliative care)
* 	dealing with the human body (e.g., anatomical research, organ
donation, biomaterial in international studies)
* 	migration and medicine 

A significant number of high-quality abstracts has already been
