S&S Dinner Dialogues, with George Truskey, PhD - Moral Considerations in Tissue Models
Event Details
Moral Considerations in Tissue Models
What are the moral considerations in tissue models, specifically related to brain organoids? When does a tissue model cross a line and exhibit human-like behavior? Can non-living entities also exhibit such human-like behavior that they might be considered for protection?
Join Dr. Truskey for dinner and discussion on Wednesday, October 2nd at 7:45 pm. This event is free to attend, and transportation is available if needed.
Readings:
The Ethics of Cerebral Organoid Research: Being Conscious of Consciousness
