Does genetic and genomic screening keep open the door to eugenics? - Roundtable discussion, 25th May
NHGRI invites you to join a conversation on the complexities surrounding historical and present-day eugenics, scientific racism and ableism in the context of genetic and genomic screening and diagnostic technologies.
-
What are the historical connections between the eugenics movement and genetic counseling -- and their continuing legacies today?
-
How are ethical and scientific experts addressing the development of contemporary genetic counseling, reproductive choice, and clinically informed decision-making?
- How can the scientific community discuss health, disease and disability in an empathetic way?
Weve asked an internationally recognized group of experts, uniquely spanning humanistic and scientific expertise, to help answer these questions and more. We will also answer select questions from registered audience members.
Eugenics, scientific and structural racism -- as well as ableism -- are essential elements of the complex inheritance of genetics, genomics and the Human Genome Project. Panelists will also address significant societal, bioethical and philosophical issues, such as those surrounding preimplantation genetic diagnosis, noninvasive prenatal testing, and newborn sequencing and screening.
When: Wednesday, May 25 from 1-3:00 p.m. ET
