Membership

The CBS welcomes any individual or organization with an interest in ethical issues relating to human health and the biological sciences, to join and strengthen this cross-Canadian network.

Existing members come from all walks of life - health care professionals, academics/researchers, practicing ethicists and ethics committee members, students, journalists, public policy experts, retirees, writers, and many others, including, most importantly, members of the public and groups who are concerned that we treat each other and the environment in which we live, ethically.

​

Individual Membership

​

Individual membership is a means for individuals to network with peers, support an environment of collaboration and inclusive dialogue on bioethics issues, and advance the cause of bioethics in Canada.

  • Coming in 2020 - Access to the CBS Member Database, which facilitates networking between CBS members. It allows members to gain a better understanding of who does what in bioethics in Canada. Members can search for other members by name, province or city and by particular area of specialization. It is also possible to do individual searches to identify CBS members who are willing to be contacted by the media or to serve as mentors.
