Attendees Impressed by the Depth of Remaking Humanity? Conference
More than 320 people arrived at the suburban Chicago campus of Trinity International University for the Center’s 10th annual summer conference, which focused on the ethical issues of biotechnology and their implications now and for the future. Many commented on the profundity of the sessions, remarking that they far exceeded their expectations. An important part of the conference was two CBHD foundation-funded research projects—the “Theology of Biotechnology” project and the “Remaking Humanity” project—the first fruits of which were presented during the event.
