08-05-2012 15:27 The several generations alive today have had and will continue to have divergent experiences regarding human genetic and reproductive technologies. What are the key generational differences regarding encounters with and perspectives on these technologies - and technology in general? How do these differences inform ideas about families, identities, privacy and regulation? How do other issues, including environmental protection, economic well-being, global peace, reproductive rights and human rights, intersect with various generations' concerns about human biotechnologies? And what values and concerns are held in common regardless of generational differences? Panelists Magdalina Gugucheva (Council for Responisble Genetics), Sujatha Jesudason (Generations Ahead), Jesse Reynolds (Center for Genetics and Society) and Joe Stramondo (Michigan State University) discuss these topics at the 2010 Tarrytown Meeting. The discussion is moderated by Ruha Benjamin (Assistant Professor of Sociology and African American Studies at Boston University), and Introduced by Judy Norsigian (Executive Director of Our Bodies Ourselves). The Tarrytown Meetings bring together people working to ensure that human biotechnologies and related emerging technologies support rather than undermine social justice, equality, human rights, ecological integrity and the common good.
