FREE REGISTRATION for HUGO Genomics and Ethics, Law and Society Symposium
In less than two months, the Human Genome Organisation will be sponsoring a symposium on genomics and ethics, law and society focusing on the sequencing of individual genomes and its impact on society and ethics. The symposium will be held from 1 to 3 November 2009 in Geneva, Switzerland.
For two readers of the HUGO Matters blog, we’re excited to offer free registration (transportation, accomodations, and meals not included) worth $860 USD. All you have to do is email honyf@gis.a-star.edu.sg telling us what you hope to gain from attending the meeting and how you plan to share your experience, such as via Twitter or your blog.
The symposium promises to be thought provoking with experts from all over the world, abstracts of latest research, and exhibitors. Topics include:
- Science & Its Capabilities
- Personal Genomics: Redefining Privacy, Choice and the Internet
- Genetic Determinism, Discrimination, Exceptionalism and Selection
- Equity and Justice: Access & Participation in the Developing World
