Whatever you type in, you know for sure that it will have something to do with environmental ethics, according to someone. This page is also an important link to other sites and publications in environmental ethics. The Society has an ongoing Syllabus Project, in which Philosophy professors around the world are registering their courses online at this site, posting information such as course description, syllabus materials and approaches to marking. •Environmental Ethics Journal Index •Environmental Ethics WWW Server and the Center for Environmental Philosophy This is the WWW server dedicated to environmental ethics and environmental philosophy, and is the home of the major academic journal, Environmental Ethics. It offers an eighteen-year index of the Journal, by author, which makes it a solid site to check out if you are looking for articles from that publication. There is also a link to the International Society for Environmental Ethics Bibliography, mentioned above, which is keyword search-based. This home page offers links to the Center for Environmental Philosophy, and the Graduate Program at the University of North Texas, which is a locus of internet activity in this field.

It offers information on current research and publications since December 1995 by Centre Members and Graduate students, some of which are accessible as text documents through a link with the on-line Canadian Medical Association Journal. As well there is a link under 'education' to the Bioethics program, giving descriptions of courses. Much of the information contained in these pages is email addresses of people to contact for more information on the specific projects of the Joint Centre for Bioethics, such as the Joint Centre for Bioethics Nursing Initiative and the University of Toronto Critical Care Medicine Program/Joint Centre for Bioethics Task Force on Ethical Issues in Critical Care. Also available are a series of articles from the Canadian Medical Association Journal on Bioethics for Clinicians, resource allocation, evaluating situations, teaching bioethics to residents, and living wills. •University of British Columbia Centre for Applied Ethics •Biomedical Ethics Links at UBC This is a really good site, designed to give a good sense of the people working in this field and what they do. Take the step and click on the names of the people involved to find out their research interests and access their publications in text-version. Check M.A. student Chris MacDonald's page. There is access to working papers, a monthly newsletter, and descriptions of visiting professor's work. An extensive set of links to the Canadian Applied Ethics Research Nets (CAERNETS) is set up, including the Canadian Bioethics Network, the Cross-Cultural Health Care Ethics Network and the Sustainable Development Ethics Network. The links offered in the Applied Ethics Resources on WWW page are arranged according to subject, with Biomedical and Health Care Ethics, and Environmental Ethics featured and are well worth a look. As well, links to UBC's Philosophy Department, Philosophy related Web sites, and NCSA's Beginner's Guide to HTML are available. •McGill Clinical Trials Research Group A solid site, including biographies of the people involved, with links to their universities, interests, and email.

Under 'links' there is an interesting, yet frustrating to navigate, site for discussing ethical issues. It offers links to articles which readers can then comment on and exchange ideas. Access it as a guest and take the step. Even if you don't like what people have to say, you can access cutting edge articles on Assisted Suicide by big leaguers such as Dworkin, Nagel, Nozick, Rawls, and Thomson in the New York Reveiw of Books, for instance. Also accessible are descriptions of faculty work and courses offered at Malaspina University. Houses the most extensive list found to date of international links to Philosophical Associations on the Web. It's easy to get lost, so keep track. This website contains a free archive of complete articles from the paper magazine plus columns, news, fiction, a discussion forum, links and a calendar of Canadian philosophy events. •The National Center for Genome Resources This is a non-profit Bioinformatics company for the United States. It contains a lot of technical information about Genetic science. Ethical issues are broached under 'Genetics and Public Issues', in the Genetic Resource Network section on Social Implications. This page contains links to the ongoing debate on the social implications of Genetic technology and links to related ethics work, notably "Ethics and Genetics: A Global Conversation, University of Chicago and University of Pennsylvania". An informative site for the industry. This is a tool for searching the internet specifically on environmental subject matter. A test search for 'Ethics' yielded links to reliable sites such as the University of Gothenburg, Environmental Ethics, International Society for Environmental Ethics (ISEE), International Ethical Business Registry, Ethics and Value Studies Journal. Much of the content is directed towards fueling the ecological sensibility. This may be used as a source of information, derived through the search engine, on what sorts of publications, conferences, funded projects the World Bank is involved in, in terms of biomedical and environmental ethical projects. Both searches give links, usually yielding specific case information on relevant subject matter, with an embedded ethical interest. The searches yield mainly reproductive rights material, and work on sustainable development. It may help to group the search by 'subject' rather than 'confidence'. It is possible to order any publications which are useful, and to search the World Bank bibliography. The following sites, in their own way, offer some possibly interesting information in the fields of environmental and biological ethics. They are not sources of 'hard' philosophy, but may be of interest, and offer a small start into the world of what's out there on the net. The
Animal Rights Law Center, Rutgers Law School The
Institute for Global Ethics Women's
