Event Description:
The latest advances in medical research
in cloning, genetic engineering, gene therapies,
and new reproductive technologies touch
upon some of the most fundamental issues
about what it is to be human and the sanctity
of human life—issues to which religion
also speaks. As a society, how do we negotiate
the strictures of faith, the demands of
science, and laws that may stand in tension
with the imperatives of both?
