75 years after the first explosions of nuclear weapons we have seen today the ratification of the UN Treaty to prohibit nuclear weapons. There are a few other technologies that humankind have made that are capable of destroying the whole planet. Eubios Ethics Institute founded Youth Peace Ambassadors in 2010 in Hiroshima with UNESCO. In 2014 we held a field trip of the 14th Asian Bioethics Conference to Nagasaki. It is fitting on 22 January 2021, this issue launches the Statement “Ethical Values and Principles for Healing Society in Light of the COVID-19 Crisis”, from the World Emergency COVID19 Pandemic Ethics (WeCope) Committee, as the result of dialogue between 50 persons from all around the world. One of the principle values is peace and nonviolence. It may have taken the pandemic to bring home to people the fragility of life on this planet, which is still actively destroying the lives and hopes of many around the world. Thank God, it was not a nuclear winter, because the toll would have been 2 billion instead of 2 million. The dozen papers include studies on the impact of COVID-19 on different communities and the measures that people have taken to try to control this pandemic. In the monthly IPHA conferences that we are hosting we see many papers as a result of numerous research studies that are really opening up the field of public health ethics in a manner which had not been explored in such detail before. It is not the mighty hydrogen bomb which has shown us the fragility of human existence. Rather it is a little virus, that has now started to mutate and naturally play an evolutionary game with the lives of its host, us. Surely it is also with a note of hope to see the inauguration of U.S. President Biden, who immediately rejoined the USA to the Paris Climate Accord, and the World Health Organization, and has declared he will be part of COVAX, the effort to make the COVID-19 vaccine accessible to people in every country in the world. So, I think it’s quite reasonable at least for today that bioethicists can be proud of what we’ve been doing to fight for preservation of the environment for all living creatures and of humanity itself. Let us double our efforts to work so that those countries which have nuclear weapons will never have a reason to use them, and will eventually give up such as suicidal technology
