| Details: | The forthcoming conference builds on the Center for the Study of Bioethics’ tradition of bringing together top experts in the field of bioethics to discuss novel issues. In May 2013, the Center for the Study of Bioethics and the Oxford Centre for Neuroethics jointly organized the conference “Enhancement: Cognitive, Moral and Mood.” John Harris, Julian Savulescu, and Peter Singer were among the esteemed presenters. In October 2015, the Center for the Study of Bioethics and The Hastings Center carried the 2013 debate one step further with the conference “Enhancing Understanding of Enhancement.” The keynote speakers were John Harris and Erik Parens. Both events were organized in Belgrade. In August 2017, the Center for the Study of Bioethics partners with the Division of Medical Ethics in NYU School of Medicine`s Department of Population Health and The Hastings Center for the conference “Genome Editing: Biomedical and Ethical Perspectives”. An international group of bioethics experts will gather to discuss genome editing in both humans and nonhumans. With the rapid development of revolutionary tools to edit the genome, it is difficult to imagine a more important issue in contemporary bioethics. The August conference in Belgrade is expected to be one of the most important bioethics events of 2017. Arthur Caplan and John Harris will be keynote speakers. Other keynote or invited speakers include Nick Agar, Josephine Johnston, Greg Kaebnick, Anders Sandberg and Katrien Devolder. Conference organizers will convene presentations and panels on: - Genome editing in non-humans for research, public health, and other uses - Gene drives and environmental risks - Somatic genome editing and newly developed therapies using CRISPR - Human germ-line genome editing - Genome editing and human enhancement |
