Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
The use of genomic health and ancestry data, notably DNA data held by private companies, by law enforcement in criminal investigations raises important ethical issues and requires ethically informed regulation. The ethical issues in play include informed consent, ownership rights to genetic data (e.g. (potentially) joint moral rights), the moral right not to self-incriminate and the collective moral responsibility to assist law enforcement in legitimate criminal investigations. The articulation and justification of relevant moral principles can yield ethical guidelines that give direction to regulators in this under-regulated area.
