Join us in this webinar to explore these questions from the perspectives of philosophy, anthropology, medicine, and molecular biology. Our two hour webinar will feature experts in each of these fields, who will discuss the prospect of artificial gametes and answer your questions about what the future holds for human reproduction.
The webinar is free to attend. We warmly welcome all participants.
We recommend that participants watch this short film in advance of the event. The film is a fictional account of a scientist working with artificial gametes, and a decision that changes the future of human reproduction forever.
