Centre Of Bioethical Research & Analysis (COBRA)
RESOURCES & Links
On the following pages you will be able to find links that will help you to explore the exciting field of bioethics. The various resources available through links to external sites are meant to facilitate your personal research and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of the Centre of Bioethical Research & Analysis.
You can navigate to the different sections using the Navigation Bar on the right or follow the links for the relevant sections below.
The resources on this site are organised into five main categories as follows:
- Bioethics Organisations
- Bioethics Networks & Blogs
- Bioethical Issues
- Resources in Professional Ethics
- Bioethics Journals, Websites and Newsletters
Bioethics Organisations
The COBRA Bioethics Organisations page provides links to important organisations that are involved in bioethical research and consultation. Two types of organisations can be distinguished: national ethics councils that advise their government with regard to bioethical policy and ethics centres that are either funded independently or affiliated to other institutions that may have different functions and responsibilities. The mission of non-national bioethics centres may include the advancement of bioethical research, the delivery of bioethics consultations, training or providing public information.
This page also contains links to ethics & law organisations, including online law databases and university affiliated centres of ethics and law research.
Bioethics Networks & Blogs
COBRA's Bioethics Networks & Blogs page provides links to a wide range of Bioethical Networks in Ireland, U.K., and Europe. This page also gives a number of links to relevant blogs, ranging from global bioethics blogs, to women's bioethics project blog, and some recently established neuroethics blogs.
Bioethical Issues Guides & Resources
Here you will find links to webpages with relevant information on a broad range of specific ethical issues developed by COBRA, including e.g. stem cell research, abortion, euthanasia and reproductive technologies. There will also be links to other on-line resources on these issues. The information that is available on these external websites will vary from balanced overviews to arguments for specific policy positions. These websites do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of COBRA.
Resources in Professional Ethics
Our page on Resources in Professional Ethics provides links to professional ethics resources, i.e. to resources that address particular ethical issues that are encountered in different professions. It lists ethics codes and ethical guidelines by professional organisations, including the fields of medicine, nursing, psychology, engineering and academic & research ethics. It also has links to other professional resources, including dedicated ethics resource pages or collection of case studies in particular subjects.

The
Bioethics Publications page provides links to important bioethics journals, websites and newsletters. Journals are the primary vehicle of academic reflection in bioethics. Some of the journals can only be accessed if your academic institution has subscribed to them; other provide access to some material for free and others don’t have any access restrictions.
You can also find a variety of dedicated bioethics news webpages and news services that are free for the public. A further relevant source of information on bioethical issues are national newspapers. Many of these have dedicated “health”, “science” or “technology” sections that often report on important bioethical issues.
