"Stem Cell Research and Cloning"
"Public Colloquia: Civil Discussions of Controversial Issues"
Presenter: Dr. Carl Miller
April 17, 2007
Dr. Miller is an assistant professor in the Department of Philosophy. Remarkable scientific breakthroughs over the past decade in genetic cloning and stem-cell research offer extraordinary hope for the treatment of disease and the regeneration of damaged tissues and organs.  But these potentially significant therapeutic benefits present numerous ethical challenges, and raise the specter of a haunting future in which people become dehumanized, and society is divided into those who have been genetically enhanced, and those who are genetically unmodified, with disturbing consequences for our view of human equality.  In this talk, we will explore both the medical hopes and the ethical and political risks associated with them.
