Contemporary Bioethics: Creating a Disposable Caste?
April 5, 2005
Wesley J. Smith at Seattle University School of Law


The Seattle University Student Chapter of the Federalist Society for Law & Public Policy Studies sponsors Discovery Institute Senior Fellow in Bioethics, Wesley J. Smith. Author of the recently-published book, A Consumer's Guide to a Brave New World, Smith has become one of the nation's leading advocates for the equality and dignity of human life. He is widely published in National Review Online and Daily Standard, and operates the weblog Secondhand Smoke.

Scare headlines about the first human clones appear in our newspapers. Biotech companies brag about manufacturing human embryos as "products" for use in medical treatments. Join Wesley J. Smith, one of the foremost experts in his field, as he provides a glimpse into a new world that is no longer a figment of our imagination, but a reality just around the corner. Smith unravels the mystery of stem cells and shows what is at stake in the controversy surrounding stem cell research. He also discusses the legal aspects of these pressing issues. "At stake," he warns, "is whether science will continue to serve society, or instead dominate it."

The event will be held on Tuesday, April 5 at noon at Seattle University School of Law (Sullivan Hall), in the Courtroom. The event is free to the public.
