The Project on Biotechnology and American Democracy cordially invites you to a panel discussion on the present and future of the bioethics debate. What have we learned from the cloning and stem cell controversies during the past legislative session? How will Republican control of the House and the Senate affect the bioethics debate? What are the prospects for legislation on such issues as human cloning, stem cell research, and the patenting of human organisms in the 108thCongress? What are the issues beyond cloning and stem cells-such as genetic screening of children, memory-altering drugs, and the genetic enhancement of muscles-that are here or on the near horizon?
