Nestled within the dynamic landscape of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), the Centre for Bioethics at CU Medicine serves as a beacon of intellectual inquiry and ethical exploration. Our dedication to education, research, and community engagement in the domain of bioethics is underpinned by a deep appreciation of the profound impact of biotechnological advancements on a global scale. Embracing a holistic approach, we delve into the intricate nuances of clinical practice, biomedical research and technologies, public health, healthcare laws and policies, environmental considerations, animal welfare, and professional conduct, all guided by a fundamental respect for the intrinsic worth of every entity with moral standing. Our goal is clear: to safeguard the dignity of each person, ensuring that reverence for life continues to be paramount in our interactions with state-of-the-art technologies at the intersections of science, health, and societal well-being. Recognising the profound significance of humanities in offering insight into the human experience of illness, suffering, and care, our works emphasise the integration of these perspectives to contextualise bioethical frameworks.

Situated within the cosmopolitan hub of Hong Kong, our Centre serves as a pivotal bridge between the East and the West, facilitating cross-cultural dialogues and exchanges of diverse ethical perspectives. In an era marked by rapid scientific progress and increasing globalisation, we strive to cultivate a shared understanding of ethical imperatives. This international dynamism enriches our work, enabling us to contribute meaningfully to the global discourse on bioethics and to navigate the ethical challenges posed by the evolving landscape of modern science and technology. Understanding the cultural, historical, and philosophical dimensions of healthcare practices not only enriches our understanding of bioethics, but also fosters a more holistic approach to ethical decision-making in the realm of healthcare and biomedicine.
