32nd annual conference of Center for Bioethics & Human Dignity

We are 25 years into the Biotech Century. Have the predictions, opportunities, and threats that many in the late 1990s wrote about come to pass? From eliminating disease to the development of new technologies and moving toward the Singularity, how have the predictions made in the 1990s fared? Which opportunities and threats have been realized? What unforeseen issues have arisen? How does the knowledge we have now inform how we view the predictions that were made then? And, perhaps most importantly, how can human beings flourish over the rest of the Biotech Century? The Center for Bioethics & Human Dignity invites you to join us for our 32nd annual conference, Living in the Biotech Century: The First 25 Years, on the campus of Trinity International University in Deerfield, Illinois. We will assess the fruits of the Biotech Century and delve into the pressing issues before us from a Judeo-Christian, Hippocratic point of view. The conference will host plenary sessions addressing: - Virtue Ethics - Predictions vs. Reality Regarding the Biotech Century - The Growth of Assisted Suicide and the Continuing Push toward Euthanasia - A Theology of Suffering - The Political and Legal Landscape - And more.
