Hey Guys. Update on the location for the "Reflections on Current Debates in Bioethics" event: it'll be happening in the Armstrong Medical Education Building (AMEB) - room 270.
Looking forward to seeing you there!

Hi all - if you're interested, swing by the med school campus for this bioethics related event:

Come hear James Aluri (MS III) and Justin Lowenthal (MS III) share their thoughts and experiences in the field of bioethics. The event is sponsored by the Bioethics Interest Group - Students Engaging in Ethics Discussions (BIG-SEED)

• James Aluri will explain the role of the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues—where he currently works as a research associate—and share the findings of the Commission’s Moral Science report which discusses human subjects research regulations.

• Justin Lowenthal will share an update on recent discussions involving genome editing and mitochondrial transfer IVF ("3 Parent Embryos") that have been occurring at the national level, will discuss the science behind using stem cells and genome editing, and will share some of his work on the ethics of embryo manipulation for mitochondrial disease in the context of a public health ethics lens.

There will be plenty of time for hearty discussion and debate after the talks.

Lunch will be provided!
