1. Global bioethics calls us to give equally fair consideration to three spheres of moral concern:

2. Global bioethics calls us to be accountable for our actions and appetites in relation to these three spheres; and to examine how well society, our politics, laws, economies (industry and commerce), religious, educational and other traditions and institutions, as well as our own personal lives, are in accord with the bioethical principles that unify these three spheres in the light and language of compassion, humility, and reverence for the sanctity of life.

3. Global bioethics calls us to actualize our natural, innate empathic sensitivity, moral sensibility and powers of reason, reflection, and also self-control by embracing the precautionary principle.

4. Global bioethics calls us to consider the purpose and potentials of human existence, the significance of the virtues that make us humane beings, and our duties and responsibilities for the Earth community, and for the integrity and future of Creation.

5. Global bioethics calls us to understand and respect the cultural ecology of moral pluralism, and from this diversity of human beliefs, opinions, and desires, create a common ground of equalitarianism and respect for all life.

6. Global bioethics calls us to develop a unity of spirit for more effective and immediate crisis management, conflict resolution, and humane intervention where the compass of compassion directs reason and action toward world peace, justice, environmental and animal protection, conservation and restoration of biological and cultural diversity, and

security and fulfillment for all sentient beings.

7. Global bioethics promotes and unifies Earthcare, Peoplecare, Animalcare, and Healthcare for the good of all.
