Designing The Genes Of Future Generations- A public forum

April 30, 2008

As screening for genetic abnormalities becomes more and more prevalent as
part of prenatal care and assisted human reproduction, we open up a host of
important and contentious ethical questions. Are these screening programs
part of preventative medicine? What sorts of genetic conditions should we
allow screening for? Why? Who all is affected, positively or negatively by
these practices? What should our way forward be with these technologies?
Come participate in a panel discussion lead by experts in the field that
will cover issues relating to the science and ethics of reprogenetics.
