An Interfaith Discussion: The Ethics of Preimplantation Genetic Testing

Convenor: Andrew Moeller, Project Leader, Biotechnology and the Humanities, TORCH

As biotechnologies advance, many ethical questions take on a new sense of urgency. This conversation brings together diverse religious perspectives on preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), exploring how ancient moral and spiritual frameworks might respond to these novel interventions in human life. The discussion will consider wide-ranging questions about the nature of human limits, moral responsibility, dependence, vulnerability, and the very meaning of life itself.
