Ethical dilemmas of genetics

November 19

Selecting embryos, deciding which genes to inherit and opening the door to the creation of DNA in the laboratory: today genetics allows us to choose much more than we imagined. We will not only talk about the therapeutic; Now we select, intervene and, in some cases, we can even manufacture new genetic combinations. In this talk we will consider how these advances force us to rethink what it means to choose, what risks we take and what ethical dilemmas arise when we select the future of humanity.

On November 19 at 6:30 p.m., Adrián Villalba, postdoctoral researcher in Reproductive Medicine at the Instituto de Investigaciones Sanitarias de la Fe (Valencia) will give a conference on the dilemmas of genetics, at the headquarters of Friends for UNESCO. This activity is part of the Spaces of Reflection cycle that we carry out together with this entity.
