This interdisciplinary conference, funded by the European Science Foundation and attended by ethicists, sociologists, anthropologists, philosophers and various researchers from the life sciences, was the second in the Biomedicine within the Limits of Human Existence series. It was a follow-up on the 2001 conference, which took place in Davos, and considered the role of human finitude in the sense that mankind is limited in existence, knowledge and power. The central question in the 2001 conference was whether such limitations should be perceived as burdensome, or whether they also have a liberating aspect. Publication of the 2001 conference volume is forthcoming (Springer, autumn 2005).
