We are 25 years into the Biotech Century. Have the predictions, opportunities, and threats that many in the late 1990s wrote about come to pass? From eliminating disease to the development of new technologies and moving toward the Singularity, how have the predictions made in the 1990s fared?
Which opportunities and threats have been realized? What unforeseen issues have arisen? How does the knowledge we have now inform how we view the predictions that were made then? And, perhaps most importantly, how can human beings flourish over the rest of the Biotech Century?
The Center for Bioethics & Human Dignity invites you to join us for our 32nd annual conference, Living in the Biotech Century: The First 25 Years, on the campus of Trinity International University in Deerfield, Illinois. We will assess the fruits of the Biotech Century and delve into the pressing issues before us from a Judeo-Christian, Hippocratic point of view.
The conference will host plenary sessions addressing:
In addition, workshops and paper sessions will explore a wide spectrum of issues from traditional and emerging bioethical topics.
The Center for Bioethics & Human Dignity’s annual conference is the leading forum for engaging in Christian bioethics, providing opportunities for equipping and educating students, professionals, clergy, and lay people, as well as professional development credit, academic engagement, and networking for academic researchers, policymakers, educators, clinicians, thought leaders, and students across a variety of disciplines and professional contexts.
This conference will be available in person, online, or on-demand. There is no wrong way to attend!
Last year, this conference was approved for 16 units of CME. We are in the process of attaining accreditation for the 2025 conference. Check back here for updates.
