Bioethics Training for Schools

Bioethics Training Courses, designed to support the continuing education of teaching staff, school students, and families in educational centers.

These courses present the fundamental aspects of Bioethics from a personalist perspective with ontological foundations, focused on the unconditional respect for the value and dignity of the human person from conception to natural death. They also address the most current issues in Bioethics and encourage reflection on the possible conflicts between science and ethics, following the teachings of Professor Dr. Jérôme Lejeune, offering scientific and rational criteria for the formation of one’s own ethical judgment.
