DESCRIPTION:<p>Revolutionary developments in genetic science and biotechnology may provide new ways of treating and preventing disease. &nbsp\;Most people think this is a good thing. Genetic science and biotechnology might also be used for human enhancement&mdash\;to make people &ldquo\;better than well&rdquo\;.</p>\n<p>In the context of in vitro fertilisation (IVF)\, genetic testing already allows parents to screen against embryos with severe genetic diseases. &nbsp\; Genetic testing\, however\, might also enable identification of embryos with genes associated with positively desired characteristics. &nbsp\;It might thereby become possible to create especially tall\, smart\, and/or beautiful people. &nbsp\;But would this be ethical&mdash\;and should it be permitted? &nbsp\;Two world leading bioethics experts defend rival perspectives on designer babies in a public debate.</p>\n<p>Pro: Professor Julian Savulescu<br>Director\, Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics\, University of Oxford\;<br>Sir Louis Matheson Distinguished Visiting Professor\, Centre for Human Bioethics\, Monash University</p>\n<p>Con: Associate Professor Robert Sparrow <br>Australian Research Council Future Fellow\, Philosophy\, Monash University</p>\n<p>Further details:<br>Sharon Elliott (sharon.elliott@monash.edu | +61 3 9905 4698)</p>
