Emerging Ethical Dilemmas in Science: Michael Brooks at Melbourne Jewish Book Week

Join Michael Brooks with Norman Swan and Elizabeth Finkel for their thought-provoking panel Emerging Emerging Ethical Dilemmas in Science.

With greater understanding of the human genome comes questionable exploitation of that knowledge. Many issues highlight the need for scientists to confront the risks and ethics of their research, and for the community to be responsibly informed.
