As gene editing techniques become more refined, the possibility of editing the human genome is moving from science fiction to reality. What should we do with this power? Many in the scientific community are calling for strict regulations on the use of this technology, while others are excited about the possibilities. How can we maximize benefits from these scientific advances while minimizing the harm that might come from them?





Join BosLab ( www.boslab.org ), a community lab in Somerville, and local experts in a conversation about how we should handle the power of gene editing techniques.





A light dinner will be served.
