DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): As our society continues to age, it struggles with a host of ethical issues with which previous generations were never confronted. Included are decisions about the extent to which succeeding generations should be responsible for one another, how care is provided and how decisions about end of life care are made, and how advances in genetic technology influence the kinds of lives we lead. This application requests support for three conferences designed to advance interdisciplinary research on aging and ethics. By providing a forum for scientists from diverse backgrounds and ethicists who are committed to understanding the intersection of aging and ethics to gather, a unique opportunity would exist for stimulating critical thinking, defining the salient questions that remain unanswered, and crafting the foundation for the next generation of empirical research studies to be conducted. Each conference would have an applied focus as it struggles with a major issue at the intersection of aging and ethics. Conference topics would include: (1) Responsibility and community across the generations, (2) End of life, and (3) Aging, genetic technology, and the future. Invited presenters would come from disciplines including, but not limited to, philosophy, ethics, theology, gerontology, sociology, anthropology, psychology, medicine, and law. Commissioned papers would have as their goal generating discussion and new empirical research based on theoretical and empirical knowledge bases. The proceedings from each of the conferences would form the basis of an edited volume.

描述（由申请人提供）：随着我们的社会不断老龄化，我们面临着一系列前几代人从未遇到过的道德问题。 其中包括后代应在多大程度上相互负责、如何提供护理、如何做出临终护理决策，以及基因技术的进步如何影响我们的生活方式等决策。 该申请请求支持三个旨在推进老龄化和伦理学跨学科研究的会议。 通过为来自不同背景的科学家和致力于理解老龄化与伦理学交叉点的伦理学家提供一个论坛，将存在一个独特的机会来激发批判性思维，定义尚未解答的突出问题，并为下一个问题奠定基础。进行实证研究的产生。 每次会议都会有一个应用重点，因为它正在努力解决老龄化和道德交叉点的重大问题。 会议主题包括：(1) 各代人的责任和社区，(2) 生命的终结，以及 (3) 老龄化、基因技术和未来。 受邀演讲者来自多个学科，包括但不限于哲学、伦理学、神学、老年学、社会学、人类学、心理学、医学和法学。 委托论文的目标是在理论和经验知识基础上引发讨论和新的实证研究。 每个会议的会议记录将构成编辑卷的基础。
