| Description |
Gregory Pence, known as one of the founders of bioethics, is internationally famous for defending cloning and genetically modified food against bio-Luddites and naysayers who oppose research on stem cells and cloning. His book Who’s Afraid of Human Cloning? (1998) is regarded as a classic in bioethics for its rigorous attack on opponents of cloning. His most recent book is Cloning After Dolly: Who’s Still Afraid? (2005). Constantly in demand by the media, Pence has been interviewed on national television news and talk shows, National Public Radio, and by TIME Magazine, The New York Times and Wall Street Journal. He has testified before Congress and the California Senate in opposition to laws against cloning. There will be two lectures, 10 a.m. “Stem Cells, Little Persons, and Scientific Research” and 4 p.m. “Organic or Genetically Modified Food – Which Is Safer?” This is the 24th annual Harold Stoner Clark Lecture Series, endowed by the late Mr. Clark and sponsored by the Department of Philosophy. The lecture will be held on campus at the Samuelson Chapel. |
