2 Embryonic Stem Cells, Clones and Genes

Greetings From the Conference Co-Directors

During the past several years, the issues prompted by biomedical research have become increasingly difficult, and subject to wideand often contentious debate. One of those issues – the relationship of the pharmaceutical industry to government, academia,

physicians and consumers – was the subject of a conference held at Hofstra University in October 2006.

That conference was the first in a series. The present conference is the second. It will focus on the difficult ethical, social, legal,economic, and religious issues prompted by rapidly accelerating scientific developments in human embryonic stem cell research andcloning.

The fact common to the issues noted is the tension between a revolutionary advance, and a grave concern: between the potentialof the relevant research to improve remarkably the treatment of many serious diseases, and the risk that it will degrade human lifeby regarding it as merely a tool and by creating altered forms of human life.

The tension is underscored by the creation, recently announced, of a cloned embryo thought capable of implantation andreproduction, and of pluripotent stem cells induced by reprogramming adult skin cells. Such developments reinforce the medicalpromise, present new health risks, and re-energize social debate while shifting the terms of that debate.

The conference of October 2006 was productive especially because eminent participants presented disparate views in anatmosphere that encouraged rigorous discourse and mutual respect. The present conference will, we are confident, be asproductive, for the same reason.

Since the issues discussed in this conference are likely to be discussed in the presidential debates unfolding in the present electionyear, Hofstra has designated the conference to be part of Educate ’08, a program that provides relevant background to thedebates, the last of which will be held at Hofstra on October 15.

We are grateful to Hofstra University, the Hofstra Cultural Center, Hofstra Law School, and the law firm of Garfunkel, Wild & Travis,P.C. for their support. We are also grateful to the Office of Continuing Medical Education of the North Shore-Long Island JewishHealth System for its sponsorship. We thank Natalie Datlof and Athelene Collins of the Hofstra Cultural Center for their invaluableassistance. Our appreciation is extended to Marjorie Berko, Teri Caruso, Nancy Grasser and Jeannine Rinaldi, with great thanks toTobie-Lynn Accardi, assistant director of communications, for sharing her artistic and technological skills. We thank the members ofthe Conference Advisory Board; and finally, to you the participants, for your contributions to this conference.
