Facilitator: Katrin Grüber, Institute for Human, Ethics and Science, Germany
Questions and discussion about:
- Images of humans and images of the body in the new biotechnologies: the body as “nature” or as a design object?
- What are the challenges for international women’s movements posed by the mechanisation of human nascency on the one hand and the increasing of social and economic inequalities between north and south on the other?
- What does self determination mean in today’s context of ever further reaching interventions of technology Do self-determination and freedom of choice still hold as categories suitable for social debate on biotechnology? Do we rather need new concepts?
