Brave New Law
The Brave New Law project aims to
hold conferences that allow students an opportunity to inquire about the
direction of legislative and judicial responses to the application of
biotechnology. In pursuit of this goal, experts are invited to present and
debate about choices and decisions surrounding biotechnology.
Human Reproduction and
Biotechnology (2004): The
application of biotechnology to human reproduction, our first conference topic,
amply satisfies both the letter and spirit of the Brave New Law project as the
direction of policy in the area appears unsettled and the plethora of
philosophical, religious, ethical, and legal quagmires surrounding human
reproduction make any attempts at novel legislation brave indeed. The
conference will center on a chance to discuss and debate with leading experts.
Not coincidentally, the conference will be held the day after the
"Unnatural Selection" conference sponsored by Stanford's new Center
for Law and the Biosciences. We are delighted that experts from that conference
will be joining us, along with representatives from the President's Council on
Bioethics and from the field of biomedical ethics.
