Description

From polygenic testing to regenerative cell therapies, breakthroughs in genetics are reshaping how we think about medicine, parenting, and the future of human life. But with these advances comes a critical question: Will we pursue technology that is restorative and life-affirming or slip into consumerist eugenics that treat children as products to be optimized?

This timely event brings together leaders at the forefront of science, policy, and ethics to examine the promise, and peril, of human genome technologies. Participants include Tim Hunt, JD, Todd Lencz, PhD, Ben Hurlbut, PhD, Rachel Roth Aldhizer, and Emma Waters. Together, they will discuss the framing of “choice” in embryo screening and highlight restorative innovations in genuine treatment and care.
