About this blog

  • Thinking Ethics was a project launched in Geneva to foster the debate about ethics. A few friends, fed up with only reading about abuses in the media, decided to hold a forward-looking seminar on five subjects: ethics and performance, ethics and knowledge, ethics and consciousness, ethics and disobedience and ethics in real time. If moral has to do with right and wrong, then ethics is its application in society. We believe that people need to talk about the subject to determine the level of ethics they want. The book Thinking Ethics, a result of the seminar, is to start the discussion. This blog is a contribution to the conversation.

No good deed goes unpunished...

The chief of medecine at the World Health Organisation has criticized the Gates Foundation's influence on malaria research. In a memo to his boss, Dr. Arata Kochi claims there is so much money flowing in and that a lot of the projects are linked, so that it is stiffling independent review of the research.  Pre Gates Foundation involvement, annual budgets for malaria research were around 84 million $. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation poured in 1.3 billion. Well, yeah - they have a lot of influence. Full article in the New York Times here.
