September 22nd 2017 Science at the Edge Seminar 1400 Biomedical Physical Sciences 11:30 am Insoo Hyun "Ethics at the Edge of Science." Abstract: This presentation addresses four cutting-edge areas of biomedical research that have recently stirred much ethical anxiety: human genome editing; mitochondrial replacement interventions; extended embryo cultivation; and self-organizing embryo-like structures. These four research areas share many interesting technical and ethical interconnections, which together provide a rich opportunity for the audience to reflect on the advances and limitations of ethics at the edge of science.
