Gene editing technology like CRISPR may have potential to treat diseases, but does editing future generations go too far? 

Join renowned bioethicist Françoise Baylis, reproductive justice activist Nourbese Flint, and disability rights scholar and activist Karen Nakamura for a conversation about the serious societal and ethical implications of human gene editing in the context of assisted reproductive technology. 


This free online discussion is co-hosted by the Center for Genetics and Society and the Othering & Belonging Institute at UC Berkeley and will be moderated by Osagie Obasogie, professor of law and bioethics at UC Berkeley and CGS Senior Fellow. Live captioning will be available.
