By comparison, legal regulation in Asia is relatively simplistic (if not non-existent), and tends to be conservative in its scope. The reasons for this are poorly understood, but it is conceivable that the principle of respect for individual autonomy is not accorded the same primacy in these jurisdictions as it is in Western jurisdictions. Instead, a host of other value commitments occupy equally, if not more important, positions in the constellation of values espoused by Asian jurisdictions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It is precisely this clash between the mechanism of the advance directive, which is inherently an individually-focused form of decision-making grounded in the person\u2019s own wishes, and the more communitarian, familial models of decision-making common to Asian jurisdictions, which is of interest to us. How do Asian jurisdictions approach a practice which views autonomy as sacrosanct \u2013 do they endorse this view, or do they attempt to modify it? If so, how? What are the tensions that arise when the regulation and practice of advance directives sits alongside the fundamentally important role of the family? Are there any internal inconsistencies within the laws themselves?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This 2-day workshop will take a comparative look at the law and practice of advance decision-making in healthcare across 15 jurisdictions in Asia, with one workshop focusing on reform in Hong Kong. This project is a particularly timely one in light of recent developments in Asian jurisdictions. Hong Kong has just undergone a public consultation regarding the regulation of advance directives, as a first step towards the codification of the common law position that it currently follows. This is but one of several recent attempts in Asia to address the issue (see, for example, Korea and Taiwan), and it appears that the advance directive is beginning to receive more traction in Asian jurisdictions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Jurisdictions covered:<\/strong><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Hong Kong<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Mainland China\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Taiwan<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Macau<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Japan<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">South Korea<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Singapore<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Malaysia<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Philippines<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Thailand<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">India<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Iran<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Israel<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Turkey<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Russia<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Organiser:<\/strong><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Centre for Medical Ethics and Law, The University of Hong Kong<\/span><br \/><em>In collaboration with\u00a0<\/em><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Law Society of Hong Kong<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ethox Centre, University of Oxford, the United Kingdom<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Wellcome Centre for Ethics and Humanities, University of Oxford, the United Kingdom<\/span><br \/><strong><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Continuing Medical Education (CME) Accreditation<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">:<br \/><\/span>Click\u00a0<span style=\"color: #009949;\"><a style=\"color: #009949;\" href=\"https:\/\/cmel.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/202009301020ADWorkshopCME.pdf\">here<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Continuing Professional Development (CPD)\u00a0Accreditation (by the Law Society of Hong Kong)<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">:\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Workshop 1: 30 Sep 2020, 4pm &#8211; 6pm (HK Time): 2\u00a0<\/span>CPD points<br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Workshop 2: 2 Oct 2020, 4pm &#8211; 6pm (HK Time)<\/span>:\u00a02\u00a0CPD points<br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><br \/><strong>Fees: free of charge<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Level:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Elementary (no prior knowledge\/ experience required)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Target Audience:\u00a0<\/strong>Legal professionals, \u00a0healthcare professionals and anyone who is interested<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Viewing of pre-recorded videos:<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b><br \/><\/b>Registrants are\u00a0strongly\u00a0encouraged to view, prior to the live workshops, a number of\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #009949;\">pre-recorded video presentations on Advance Directives<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">.
