Our Genes Our Choices - Making Better Babies: Genetics and Reproduction (Fred Friendly Seminar), 2005-06-24
Scope and Contents
From the video case - How far should people be allowed to go in trying to have better babies? And whose definition of "better" should prevail? This Fred Friendly Seminar moderated by Dateline NBC correspondent John Hockenberry considers the ethical dilemmas facing individuals and society that grow out of prenatal testing and genetic options that may be available in the future - such as cloning. Panelists include Francis Collins; ABC journalist Meredith Viera; Princeton University's Lee Silver; Commissioner Paul Miller of the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission; Adrienne Asch, professor in biology, ethics and politics of human reproduction at Wellesley College; Faye Wattleton, president of the Center for Gender Equality; and Zev Rosenwaks.
