Kurzbeschreibung: Senator Liz Krueger will discuss how to formulate public policy while balancing ethical, societal and medical considerations. Professor Glenn McGee will discuss the nature of the political and bioethical debate that we can expect in the coming decade. Professor Stuart Newman, a cell biologist, is pessimistic about embryonic stem cell research on practical grounds, and, as such, considers the ethical debate about cloning to be about things that cannot practically happen. Professor Udo Schuklenk will talk about some of the ethical issues involved in efforts to develop cloning techniques for reproductive (human) purposes.
