...Visions of a fair economy have to be combined with concrete small steps. Such seeds of transformation give hope.

The Global Ethics Forum (GEF) 2012 focused on two of the crucial challenges of transformation towards creating an ethical economy: the financial markets and sustainability after Rio+20. Over 70 speakers from all continents contributed to the search for ethical transformation, discussing concrete aspects of themes such as sustainability, financial transformation, transparency, and ethical business management.

This position paper puts forward an ethical case for end-of-life decision-mak¬ing legislation. Such legislation would clarify areas of legal uncertainty, most notably in respect of terminal pain management, withholding and withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment (sometimes called "passive euthanasia"), and advance directives (a living will and a durable power of attorney for healthcare). More controversially, the paper also argues for the inclusion of assisted dying (assisted suicide and voluntary active euthanasia) in a comprehensive end-of-life decision-making bill.
