Ethical and social impacts of human enhancement conference
2 March 2009A two days conference is being organized at the Western Michigan University during March 28-29 on the ethical and social impacts of human enhancement. The conference is funded by WMU (Western Michigan University) and US National Science Foundation and is being organized by Dartmouth College, Delaware University, California Polytechnic State University and Western Michigan University.
Although there are many applications of nanotechnology and nanoscience, there are also issues related to the ethical use of the new technology. The nanoethics group at the Western Michigan University thus provides an opportunity to discuss about the ethical issues involved during the upcoming conference. The nanoethics group believes that although the nanotechnology is a power tool to achieve the best results, however it equally open unforeseen results and harms associated with it.
The well known researchers from across the globe are expected to participate and share their thoughts in the conference. Researchers from well known organizations including Albany School of Medicine, IBM, Michigan State University, Trinity Colllege, General Dynamics and Arizona State University are expected to participate in the conference
