Bioethics Forum

7th Annual International Bioethics Forum:
Evolution in the 21st Century
BioPharmaceutical Technology Center, Madison, WI
April 17-18, 2008
 

 
 

 

Looking for a good summary of the issues?  Please read: Closing Remarks: Dr. Robert Streiffer (Moderator)

OVERVIEW: Join us for a lively two days of information-sharing and discussion regarding this exciting -- and often challenging - topic!  We will learn about current scientific work, consider related legal/social policy issues and examine historical and present-day responses of faith communities.  Evolution in the 21st Century is designed to allow participants to explore and extend their understanding of:

  • Evolution and creationism – what is the historical context and what evidence do we have?

  • Diverse faith perspectives relative to various scientific perspectives of evolution: Can we reconcile evolution and religion?
  • The complexities of “biopolitics” and where we are headed in terms of basic rights relative to ourselves as individuals and the decisions we make about human enhancement.
