MBB 294 Culminating Activity: The Genesis Project – Engineering the Future of Humanity

As breakthroughs in genetic engineering redefine the boundaries of science, society faces urgent questions about what it means to innovate responsibly. The ethical dilemmas posed by technologies that can alter human intelligence, strength, and lifespan demand thoughtful debate, not just technical solutions.

Join us in the NIMBB Conference Room this Friday, May 16, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. for the culminating event of MBB 294: Ethics in Research. In this deliberative policy simulation entitled “The Genesis Project: Engineering the Future of Humanity,” we will tackle the challenges of science governance from the perspective of scientists, ethicists, religious leaders, human rights advocates, political leaders, and international bodies in a future where gene editing could reshape humanity.
