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

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

The 2nd international and interdisciplinary conference on Health,
Culture and the Human Body
Epidemiology, ethics and history of medicine, perspectives from
Turkey and Central Europe
Istanbul, Turkey, 12-15 September 2012

Demographic change in a globalized world raises not only social and
economic issues but also ethical problems within the medical system
of aging societies. Medical care for elderly people cannot be
conceptualized and organized without considering a cultural
understanding of aging and the economic and social circumstances of a
given society. In this regard this conference will focus on ethical,
historical and epidemiological perspectives of aging in a global
world, including issues such as health care research and
health-related knowledge, attitudes and practices of elderly people.
Further subjects of the conference are the beginning of life and
sexually transmitted diseases, which will also be discussed from an
interdisciplinary perspective. 
This conference will focus on the selected cases from Turkey,
Germany, and other countries which for the last 50 years have been
closely connected by substantial migration processes, as they had
been earlier through medical scientific exchanges and common clinical
practice. After the well received first round held in Germany (Mainz)
in 2010, the aim of this second conference is to establish a
discussion platform for different ethical considerations among
historically connected countries, applying an interdisciplinary
“medicine studies” approach to selected sample cases from Turkey,
Germany and other countries with comparable relationships.   
The chosen thematic areas are:
•	Aging, culture and medicine (aging and culture, aging and
perception of the body, medical care and geriatrics, geriatrics and
ethics, hospice systems)
•	Sexually Transmitted Diseases   (e.g. AIDS, syphilis, gonorrhea;
the social perception of venereal diseases and medicine,
politics-ethics and the treatment of sexually transmitted diseases)
•	Beginning of life and ethics (Assisted Reproductive Technologies,
abortion, religion-medicine and the beginning of life)    
•	Migration and Health
Abstracts (max. 250 words) of proposed conference papers should be
