Program Description
Event Details
The collection and analysis of DNA is an important tool in law enforcement. This presentation explores the challenge of establishing ethical and legal frameworks in a timely manner to guide the use of newly developed technologies. A key question that is woven through this presentation is how we as a society can use genetics to keep people safe, solve crimes and, at the same time, develop policies that provide appropriate safeguards and privacy protections.
Join Gillian McNeil, a genetics specialist and public engagement associate for the Personal Genetics Education & Dialogue (PGED) Harvard Medical School.
