- Between scientists and public: reframing public participation in science through bioethicsPublication . Carvalho, Mónica; Carvalho, Ana Sofia; Araújo, Joana; Brites, MartaDiscourses and techniques about the relationship between science and the public have remarkably developed in the past four decades. Science communication has become an important issue for the scientific governance. Public confidence in science, decision-making and support to democracy have changed the predominance of a top-down communication model, from scientists to public, to a more participative one – the Public Engagement with Science (PES). The Institute of Bioethics at Portuguese Catholic University, in Oporto, is doing research in the role of science in society issues and the aim of this paper is to discuss the relevance of Bioethics to improve PES. The bioethical issues seem to draw people‟s attention to certain scientific facts, confronting them with the consequences of science and improving their skills in deliberating on scientific issues. Moreover, ethics influences the way one understands public engagement, „scientific citizenship‟ or „science governance‟. The role of ethics is not to re-edit the old fashionable deficit perspective which usually focuses on the impact of science and technology from the perspective of non-experts. Ethics is a theoretical and practical reference for changing the science-making in the near future, and it makes us consider the public as playing a more important role than that of mere spectators with lack of scientific knowledge or with emotional concerns. The ethical reflection could redefine the non-experts place in the context of science, involving people with science, making them not simply aware of scientific issues but also involved in the process of decision-making. On the other hand, bioethics can also contribute to the participation of scientists in the ethical reflection that takes place outside the labs, broadening their role as citizen scientists.
- Bioethical education on deliberation: the views of a novelPublication . Araújo, Joana; Magalhães, Susana; Carvalho, Ana SofiaEthics is the study of the moral basis of human behavior that aims to determine the best course of action. Bioethics, as a transdisciplinary area, based both on ethics and on life sciences, reflects upon the ethical problems raised by new technologies and scientific research. One of the main tools to tackle bioethical problems is deliberation, a procedure that attempts to analyse problems, weighing up the principles and values involved as well as the context of each case. Due to the complexity of deliberation, educational projects should be promoted, providing the practice necessary for correct deliberation and raising awareness of the current ethical issues. It is our purpose to present a framework for ethical deliberation throughout the use of literature. Literary texts are essential, since they show human beings acting in space and time and they give the readers an opportunity to deliberate on ethical issues. Based on a literary text, we will reflect upon a controversial ethical issue - Preimplantion Genetic Diagnosis (PGD).
- Bioethics education on deliberation - a view of a novel: Blue Gold, by Clive CusslerPublication . Magalhães, Susana; Araújo, Joana; Carvalho, Ana SofiaBioethics education on deliberation - a view of a novel: Blue Gold, by Clive Cussler (Article presented at the conference Bioethics Education: Contents, Methods, Trends, Zefat, Israel, May 2-5, 2010) Authors: Susana Magalhães* (researcher), Joana Araújo (researcher), Ana Sofia Carvalho (Head of the Institute of Bioethics) Research Centre of Bioethics, Institute of Bioethics, Portuguese Catholic University Bioethics education on deliberation - a view of a novel: Blue Gold, by Clive Cussler Since the focus of Bioethics is the bridge between Humanities and the Life Sciences and bearing in mind that this bridge is often difficult to build, those who believe that this dialogue is important in our days should promote it through Education. By educating in Bioethics it is possible to improve the participation of the citizens in debates on the ethical issues raised by new technologies and scientific research. It is our conviction that literary texts are laboratories of ethical judgment, where the ethical questions concerning specific scientific/technological issues are addressed in an imaginary world. Therefore our purpose is to present a framework for ethical deliberation through the use of literature. Fiction allows us to “practise” ethical decision making, by focusing on the particular cases of the characters of the story and by checking how the principles / theories working at the background apply to the narrated cases.

- Bioética no ensino secundário: estratégias e instrumentos nas ciências da vidaPublication . Araújo, JoanaA Bioética enfrenta frequentemente situações problemáticas, pela sua complexidade, e dilemáticas, pela necessidade de se decidir um curso de acção. O principal objectivo do projecto que pretendemos apresentar nesta comunicação, Projecto BEST – bioética no ensino secundário - estratégias e instrumentos na formação ética nas ciências da vida e do meio é promover o ensino da bioética no ensino secundário. Trata-se de um projecto de investigação que foi aplicado ao longo de três anos em diversas escolas no ensino secundário, divididas pelo território nacional, com o objectivo de testar estratégias e instrumentos facilitadores do ensino da bioética.
