By Bruce Klein

Permalink
Starts: Monday, March 10, 2003
Ends: Friday, March 14, 2003
Location: Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK

Our growing understanding of human genetics has the potential to bring many benefits for health; however, there are widespread public concerns about the potential for eugenics and discrimination. Meanwhile there are commercial imperatives to develop new tests, technologies and pharmaceuticals.

In this uncertain era, effective regulation and balanced ethical debate is vital so that societies can maximize the benefits and avoid the dangers of genetic knowledge.

This event will explore international perspectives on both clinical and commercial exploitation of genetic knowledge and the regulation of science.
