- Abstract:
- The 1986 Nobel Prize winner in Physiology or Medicine, Rita Levi-Montalcini, updates Nirenberg on a meeting of outstanding scientists and intellectuals in Italy to draft a "Declaration of Human Duties." The twelve principle duties are provided in an attached brochure, which also contains the names of those subscribing to the document. The group called for such things as respecting human dignity and diversity, protecting nature, and promoting peace. Levi-Montalcini suggests that Nirenberg's approval and support would be "of invaluable importance in the success of this project."
