Eubios Ethics Institute is a nonprofit organization that aims to stimulate the international discussion of ethical issues, and how we may use technology in ways consistent with "good life" (eu-bios). It aims at an integrated and cross-cultural approach to bioethics, and has a global network of members and partners.

Eubios Ethics Institute was founded by Darryl Macer in 1990 in Christchurch, New Zealand and in Tsukuba Science City, Japan. It was one of the first bioethics centres to be founded in Asia in 1990. In 2005 we added Bangkok, Thailand as a third location.

Since 1990 Eubios Ethics Institute has cooperated with many individuals and groups, including UNESCO and UNU, Asian Bioethics Association, AUSN, youth networks, and seeks to empower people to be free thinkers to change the world, motivating youth to be leaders, and honing the skills of professionals.

COVID-19 Support: Eubios Ethics Institute together with global partners is hosting the World Emergency COVID-19 Ethics Committee (WeCope). Since our most recent in-person conference in London, currently all conferences and intensive trainings are conducted virtually. We will resume in-person trainings and conferences when government authorities permit.

We accept donations to support our work, please email to darryl@eubios.info for information on our bank account, or we can accept donations from credit card.

All the publications of Eubios Ethics Institute are registered in the National Library of New Zealand, and Japanese language ones are also registered in Japan. The provision of the materials, including the Eubios Journal of Asian and International Bioethics (EJAIB) and books on this site from all bodies are intended to open information to people around the world. EJAIB is the longest continuous bioethics journal outside of USA (EJAIB), since 1990.

Regular events include the annual Asian Bioethics Conferences, as secretariat of the Asian Bioethics Association; the Youth Peace Ambassadors (YPA) International Training Conferences, and Youth Looking Beyond Disaster (LBD).

There are many further cooperative conferences held with American University of Sovereign Nations and other Universities and Orgnaizations.

Activities and consultation

Eubios Ethics Institute is determined to encourage practical activities built upon the results of research to implement policy, consistent with the goals and needs of various communities around the world. This web site was created to disseminate information, and contains thousands of files. Since 1990 we also host the websites of some independent entities and reports.

We are open to collaboration and consultation on the full range of topics in peace and understanding, applied ethics, youth empowerment, bioethics research, environmental ethics, and in the past have been involved in contracted research for a wide variety of areas including bioethics education across more than twenty countries of the world, community engagement for genetically modified organisms, community engagement for the Haplotype Mapping (HapMap) project in human genetics, informed consent, and public attitudes to life, science and technology. Although most activities have been conducted in Asia and the Pacific, projects have also been undertaken in every continent, and a good life is a right for every person regardless of age or ethnic origin.

Let us work together.
