In a global war on terrorism where the enemy is pervasive, the end point is problematic and victory is elusive, the real danger is to lose all reasonable human rights and ethical perspective and to engage in a "perpetual war" that could destroy our most valued principles of respect for freedom, respect for human lives, human rights and human dignity.

What are the challenges posed by terrorism? Do responses to terror necessarily mean the end of human rights? Can we put limits on what we can do to help prevent or minimize health effects of terrorist acts and threats?

This workshop gathers a group of experts in the fields of science, medicine, law philosophy and public health to discuss these questions and suggest possible answers.

Who should attend? Health care professionals, lawyers, public policy analysts, philosophers, bioethicists, public health officers, students and concerned citizens.
