Center for Bioethics & Human Dignity conference

A decade into the biotech century, scientific discoveries and technological innovations are transforming the nature of biomedicine and revolutionizing the expectations for biotechnology. A new medicine that moves beyond therapy to enhancement presents both opportunities and perils. Beyond Therapy: Exploring Enhancement and Human Futures probes these possibilities. What do these imply for the future of our individual and common humanity? Beyond Therapy sessions will explore the emerging enhancement challenges and opportunities arising in the global environment. A diverse schedule of speakers will address this move from therapy to enhancement, with special attention given to contemporary lessons in the areas of emerging technologies, personalized genomics, and regenerative medicine.
