Discussion Forum: Implications of Enhancement

In the spring, we will shift our focus on Human Enhancement from “possibilities” to “implications.”  We will open the spring series with a discussion forum on Wednesday, January 19th at 7:30pm in the UT Dallas Conference Center.  In this informal, roundtable discussion, local experts will begin the discussion with statements, followed by a question and answer session.  The panelists include Sarah Rose, UT Arlington; Richard Scotch, UT Dallas; and Fred Grinnell, UT Southwestern. Matthew J. Brown, UT Dallas will moderate.

We will address two provocative issues:

1. What does it mean to be human?
2. Whether and what kinds of limits – ethical, moral, legal, political – should be placed on human enhancement technology?
