Announcing our 33rd Annual Conference: POLYTECHNIC BIOETHICS – Join us June 25–27 in Longview, Texas
https://www.cbhd.org/conference-2026
CBHD’s new location at LeTourneau University, known as The Christian Polytechnic University, prompts us to reflect on the term “polytechnic” and how bioethics is a polytechnic field. At its root, polytechnic simply means “many arts,” and more specifically, combining the liberal arts with the technical, or “practical,” arts.
Bioethics has always been multidisciplinary, and it goes beyond asking an abstract question, like “What does it mean to be a human living in community?” to “What will we do with this patient right here before us?”
Our 2026 Summer Conference will focus on the polytechnic nature of bioethics, including the various fields from which the discipline draws; the many issues raised that are immensely practical, technical, and temporal; and the deeply human and timeless questions that bioethics raises, like what we will or will not pursue when it comes to matters of life and death.
In addition to our annual Zimmerman Virtue Ethics Lecture, we are inviting talks on bioethics and public policy, ethics and advanced practice professionals, xenotransplantation and the future of organ donation, genetic screening and reproductive technologies, and many others.
We invite you to join us at LeTourneau University in Longview, Texas, June 25–27, 2026, for The Center for Bioethics & Human Dignity’s 33rd Annual Conference, Polytechnic Bioethics.
