Title: The Reproductive Revolution - Have We
Gone Too Far?

Date: Tuesday, 14 August

Synopsis: We are in the middle of a reproductive revolution that is changing the way we think about fertility and social aspects of families. We have also developed new technologies in stem cells that will affect regenerative medicine. Are our technologies in reproduction too far ahead of the social consequences and ethical decisions found in our society?
