FIBIP 

"Personalism is change - Dialogue with Science and Culture" was the theme of the scientific meeting of the International Federation of Personalist Bioethics (FIBIP), held in the beautiful setting of Anáhuac University in Mexico City from October 10th to 12th of last year. Organized in a hybrid format by the Anáhuac Center for Strategic Development in Bioethics (CADEBI), led by Professor Antonio Cabrera, the event included a session reserved for FIBIP members and a session open to the public. In the reserved session, which took place on October 10th, participants discussed both the emerging challenges that contemporaneity brings to bioethical reflection and the role that personalist bioethics can play by inheriting and revitalizing ontologically grounded personalism (POF) proposed by the unforgettable Cardinal Elio Sgreccia, founder of the Center and Institute of Bioethics at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart (UCSC) in Rome (Italy) and initiator of the FIBIP. In particular, it was decided to engage in a reflection on Global Bioethics compared to Personalist Bioethics, which will take the form of a scientific article to be brought to the attention of the international bioethical debate. In the open session, which took place on October 11th and 12th, classical and emerging bioethical topics were addressed. Professor Rodrigo Guerra López (CISAV, Mexico) was entrusted with the theme "Personalism: new arguments and spaces for dialogue with contemporary culture," while on "Personalism and social responsibility, a response to Laudato Si," Professor Cabrera (CADEBI, Anahuac University, Mexico), Professor Maria Elizabeth de los Rios Uriarte (Mexico), and Professor Carlos Ramos (Anahuac University, Mexico) took turns. On October 12th, Dr. Joseph Meaney (National Catholic Bioethics Center, USA, and President of FIBIP) addressed the topic "Personalism as a contribution to the end-of-life situation." Professor Ruben Revello (Catholic University of Argentina, Buenos Aires) and Professor Dario Sacchini (Center for Research in Clinical Bioethics and Medical Humanities, UCSC, Rome, Italy) offered the presentation on "Contributions of Personalism to AI, rescuing the person from the data." Each presentation was followed by extensive discussion among those present. FIBIP, after the restrictions imposed by the pandemic, determinedly chose to meet in person, also holding a Assembly of members in which it was decided to decisively relaunch the activity of the scientific society involving the founding Centers/Institutes, other bioethics institutions, and individual scholars who share the POF, with the main objective of renewing the dialogue within the international bioethical debate, as well as meeting for a future congress and, during 2024, renewing the governing bodies.
