PRECONFERENCE WORKSHOPS & COURSES

General course information

Preconference workshops

EMERGING BIOTECHNOLOGYPRECONFERENCE WORKSHOP | WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15Biotechnology is expanding rapidly and bringing exciting new techniques for potential therapies, as well as many new bioethical challenges. We will survey many of the newer and updated technologies and frame the bioethical questions that they bring. Among the topics surveyed will be various methods of gene editing and 3-parent embryo creation, stem cells of all types, fetal tissue, organoids, reproductive technologies including uterus transplants and ectogenesis, and chimeras. Discussions will also address current and potential clinical applications of these technologies.

Workshop led by David Prentice, PhD

PEDIATRIC ETHICS PRECONFERENCEWORKSHOP | THURSDAY, JUNE 16This workshop explores both contemporary and perennial issues in pediatric ethics. Pediatric ethics emerges with thecomplexities of dealing with not only the individual patient, but how the patient’s care interfaces with their parents, broader family, and society at large, raising important moral, legal, and social considerations. The pediatric practitioner also must balance broader public health considerations alongside allocation of resources and individual patient care.Topics may include: pediatric parental/custodial decision-making, mature minor decision-making, professional right of conscience, vaccination policies, and a discussion of granting patient requests for pediatric enhancements.
