The Mcdonald Centre, based at Oxford, is hosting its last conference:
Reason, Theology, and the Genome: A Conference on the Ethics of Human Enhancement
What is the place of theology in the growing debate over genetic engineering and human enhancement? Are theological reasons of interest only to believers? Or, as Michael Sandel and Jürgen Habermas have both suggested, might they be important for society generally, for secular and religious alike? Reason, Theology and the Genome brings together a distinguished international panel of speakers, representing many different disciplines and points of view, to consider the relevance of theology to one of the most important questions of our time.
Who: Michael Sandel (Harvard, author of The Case Against Perfection), Paul Griffiths (Sidney & Exeter), Anja Karnein (Frankfurt), Robert Song (Durham), Nigel Biggar (Oxford), and others. (View Full Speaker Bios)
