OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Ethox Seminar - Polygenic Risk Scores and Reproduction: Ethical, Legal and Social Issues
The talk focuses on ethical and legal aspects of the use of polygenic scores in genetic selection. I will outline the possibility of using polygenic scores to select embryos which are healthier and have greater potential for enjoying well-being and behaving morally. I will outline some new data on public acceptability and propose a model for law reform: the harm-based model for regulating genetic selection.
