School of Bioethics and the Friends of Carlo Casini Association join forces to promote bioethical thinking in Latin America

This collaboration seeks to strengthen the dialogue on Bioethics and promote the thinking of the prominent Italian jurist and politician Carlo Casini in the region.

On August 27, 2024, the School of Bioethics of the Universidad Anáhuac México took an important step towards the expansion of bioethical reflection in Latin America when Dr. José Alberto Castilla, director of this School, and Marina Casini, representative of the Friends of Carlo Casini Association held a meeting that marked the beginning of a collaboration that promotes the thought of the prominent Italian jurist and politician.

Carlo Casini, a prominent legislator and human rights activist, is recognized for his staunch defense of life and his influential work in the field of bioethics, whose legacy continues to inspire numerous advocates around the world. In addition, he was founder of the Friends of Carlo Casini Association, which is dedicated to preserving and disseminating the ideas and contributions of this politician by promoting respect for human dignity and ethics. 

During the meeting, various projects and strategies were discussed to integrate Casini's thinking into the educational and research programs of the School of Bioethics, with the aim of strengthening the dialogue on Bioethics in Latin America and promoting a greater understanding and appreciation of the principles defended by the former member of the European Parliament, such as the protection of life, from conception to natural death, and respect for the dignity of the person. 

With these actions, the School's commitment to promoting comprehensive and rigorous training in Bioethics issues is demonstrated, since this new collaboration is a testimony of its continuous effort to lead and promote critical thinking in the field of ethics and life.
