How are new developments between biotechnology and big data including gene editing, brain-computer interfacing, and artificial intelligence changing our vision of what it means to be human? How does this bear on the ethical practices of medicine and research at the lab bench and at the bedside? How might an integrative vision of ethics contribute to this conversation?
In this day-long spring symposium, scholars from the University of Chicago and Chicagoland area discussed how biotechnology shapes anthropology and whether the application of new biomedical technologies reflects an adequate understanding of human personhood.
