This unique event brings together key players in the next great debate -
how we confront the technologies of the day after tomorrow -
technologies being developed today.
As the federal government massively increases its funding of
nanotechnology, and movies like AI and Bicentennial Man focus public
attention on the fusion of "mecha" and "orga," the Center for Bioethics
and Culture and the Council for Biotechnology Policy have joined forces
to open a dialogue.
We have invited leading advocates [two! - J.] and critics [seven! - J.]
of these technologies to engage in roundtable conversation and debate.
We invite you to join us.
