Delegates form fifteen countries assembling in Mexico city were motivated by a call to scientists jointly issued by Nobel Laureate Jean Dausset and Ismail Serageldin and endorsed buy hundreds of scientists at their meeting in Alexandria on the occasion of the international conference on the Ethics And Social Responsibilities Of Science And Technology held at Alexandria 19-21 October 2002. That call was the rallying theme of the conference being held here and where Ismail Serageldin is to deliver the keynote address and a message from Jean Dausset is eagerly awaited, as the octogenarian laureate is unable to travel to Mexico City. The text of the call is translated in Spanish and French and Arabic.
