Join us Monday, November 14!   The prospect of using CRISPR gene editing in reproduction is often justified by claims that it will eliminate disease and disability. But these claims draw on societal narratives that devalue people with disabilities. Join CGS and DREDF for a roundtable conversation featuring Silvia Yee (Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund), Larkin Taylor-Parker (Autistic Self Advocacy Network), and Teresa Blankmeyer Burke (Gallaudet University) [TBC] that will explore how new narratives can challenge uses of genetic and reproductive technologies based in ingrained ableism, and promote futures in which disabled people flourish. Rebecca Cokley (Ford Foundation) will moderate the discussion. ASL/CART provided.   Register here for: Forging New Disability Rights Narratives about Heritable Genome Editing Monday, November 14, 2022 9-10 am PT / 12-1 pm ET / 6-7 pm CET     The Center For Genetics and Society | 2900 Lakeshore Avenue, Oakland, CA 94610 Unsubscribe [email protected] Update Profile | Constant Contact Data Notice Sent by [email protected] powered by Try email marketing for free today!
