The Nickel City Forum: Microbrews and Macroquestions

This month, we will look at the ethics of biotechnological enhancement.Is it appropriate for biotechnology to engage in a project of radical enhancement of the human species, to make us faster, smarter, and live longer?  Traditionally, medical technology is used to make unwell people well. Should new technology be used to extend life indefinitely? To enhance life beyond our normal experience? Dr. Philip Reed will lead us as we seek to understand this issue and try to think about it in a theologically-informed way. Dr. Reed is Professor of Philosophy at Canisius College. The Nickel City Forum is a venue to discuss the big questions in life. Arguments are welcome.
