Every day seems to bring a new twist to the DNA puzzle.
And the ethical dimension is daunting in the extreme. What's clear is that no serious dialogue about the implications of this new scientific explosion is possible without grounding in the basics. That's the challenge that this session will take up. We'll explore the fundamentals of DNA, the genetic code, recombinant engineering, and even cloning. Then we'll review the ethical, moral, religious conversation prompted by new genetic horizons.
