An international conference on bio-ethical aspects of human rights
in the educational system has kicked off in Yerevan today, organized
by Armenian ombudsman office and National Institute of Bio-ethics
supported by Moscow office of UNESCO.
Armen Harutunyan, human right ombudsman, indicated that bio-ethical
issues have become significant in the light of developments in medical
and biological sciences. "The profession of a doctor is closely related
to ethical norms. All people should have medical treatment, in case
they need it, despite of the size of their purse," Tatul Hakobyan,
deputy minister of health, stated. The participants said higher
educational establishments should have a course on medical ethics.
Gayane Makaryan, one of the organizers of the conference,
said Azeri experts in bio-ethics did not respond to their
