Abstract This essay discusses four challenges posed to a global bioethics by
articles on: divergent national policies on compensation of egg donors for IVF,
efforts to advance the development of international guidelines for the management
of neonates on the edge of viability, bioethics training workshops in Uganda, a
bioethicist's reflection on a visit to Pakistan. The article then discusses several
approaches to developing a global bioethics and how these approaches might meet
the four challenges. The essay concludes with discussion of the author's develop-
ment of a navigational approach to policymaking for fractious bioethical
policy problems and how this compares to other approaches to developing a global
bioethics.

issues in cross-cultural context and inviting our gaze and contemplation. This
symposium issue was borne out of an ongoing collaborative effort between partners
at Emory University and the Georgia Institute of Technology, the Emory-Georgia
