The science of genetics has developed rapidly over the last century, bringing with it a number of astounding new technologies. These biological technologies can improve human health, provide energy, and protect our environment. However, every new technology also poses significant social, legal, and ethical questions — sometimes even causing new forms of inequality or discrimination. How does science change how we view ourselves? And how has genetics changed the way that we have interacted with each other in the past?

Come hear a panel sponsored by the Center for Science, Technology, Medicine & Society!  Panel members are:
Rodolfo John Alaniz; UC Berkeley Department of History
Dr. Marcy Darnovsky, Executive Director of the Center for Genetics and Society
Evan Kuluk, Public Defender in Contra Costa

The event will take place at the Restaurant Valparaiso, located at 1403 Solano Avenue, CA 94706.
