DESCRIPTION:Debating the Ethics of Consumer Genotyping\nWith science making leaps and 
 bounds in genomics, experts debate the thorny ethical issues coming to the 
 fore\nINFORUM's SFDebate presents: Debating the Ethics of Personal 
 Genetics\n\nMildred Cho, Associate Director, Stanford Center for BioMedical 
 Ethics\nErin Davis Cline, Science Writer, 23 and me\n \nWatson and Crick 
 probably never dreamed they'd be able to sequence their own genomes less 
 than 60 years after they discovered the structure of DNA. Flash forward to 
 today: Technological breakthroughs allow us to cheaply and quickly sequence 
 an individual's genome and look for specific genes. What do we do with this 
 information, and what are the ethical concerns? Should genetic information 
 be made public, regulated by the government, or done only through a doctor? 
 Our SF Debate event will explore ethical questions around the information 
 revealed by genome sequencing and how that information is used or 
 protected.\n \nSF Debate is INFORUM's bi-weekly event, and is structured 
 somewhat like a formal debate, with participants posing arguments to 
 support their views on the issue at hand.\n\nLocation: Exploratorium McBean 
 Theatre\nTime: 6:30 p.m. check-in, 7-8:30 p.m. debate\nCost: 
 INFORUM/EXPLORATORIUM MEMBERS FREE, $5 non-members\nAlso know: Co-presented 
 by The Exploratorium:The Museum of Science, Art and Human Perception. The 
 museum will not be open to the public during this event. The event is 
 limited to 120 people.\n
