Abstract
Bioethicists are well familiar with the axioms and the virtues of bioethics. Bioethics is one of the flourishing disciplines in Europe, United Kingdom and United States of America. The influence of the west, in the case of Bioethics, is not found in the Asia-Pacific and African nations. Though some nations in the Asia-Pacific and Africa have set up National Bioethics Committees, many are yet to establish National Bioethics Committees though there are many activities going around these nations and a good number of bioethicists are found in these countries. This cannot be brought about as a Top-to-Bottom approach but as a Bottom-to-Top approach. Bioethicists in Asia (who have been trained at home, by UNESCO and European/North American nations) should come together and organize seminars and workshops for prospective Bioethicists, College, and High School students in their respective regional languages. Bioethics education in India can rekindle the patriotic spirits in the people, as they have already been influenced by the noble Bioethics deeds of the practical bioethicist, Mahatma Gandhi. In this dry moment when people are slowly forgetting the great sacrifices laid down to the nation and the world by Mahatma Gandhi and his peace movements, the introduction of bioethics education in schools and colleges will bring about a culture of peace in the minds and hearts of the students, who will be the leaders of India in the future. Bioethics education will also create a climate of peace and harmony in the school and college campuses and in the hostels.
