Eugenics & Emerging Technologies:
Bioethics in the Shadow of Auschwitz?
Friday,
November 10
National Press Club
Washington, D.C.
Emerging technologies promise to correct all that
ails humankind and even boast the possibility of enhancing
human abilities. But when do such “corrections”
and “enhancements” – even with the
best intentions – become eugenic? What roles
do lessons from the past and key concerns of bioethics
play in this Brave New World? And, even before such
interventions become possible, we confront the “passive”
issues of our fast-expanding genetic information –
from who gets to access it to how it should be used.
To address
these issues, the Institute on Biotechnology and the
Human Future (IBHF) at Chicago-Kent is hosting a free
conference that brings together some of the key voices
in our discussion of the technology of the 21st century:
