DESCRIPTION: (Applicant's Abstract) The proposed conference, Genetics and Society: Impact of New Technologies on Law, Medicine, and Policy, will bring together more than 800 physicians, lawyers, ethicists, scientists, clergy, students, consumers, and consumer advocates to explore the opportunities and challenges emerging from today's research. Headlines from across the country illustrate the growing public interest in the genetics revolution. Whether the topic is genetically engineered food, mandatory DNA testing, advances in molecular medicine, or genetic privacy, people want to know when and how they will be affected. Yet community leaders such as, physicians, lawyers, legislators, clergy, and teachers, often lack the information required to provide satisfactory answers. The conference, organized by the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, in association with the American Society of Law, Medicine and Ethics (ASLME) will take place on May 10, 11, and 12, 2000. Confirmed speakers and panelists include: Dr. Harold Varmus, Director of NIH; Justice Stephen Breyer of the U.S. Supreme Court; Dr. Steven Hyman, Director of the National Institute of Mental Health; Dr. Marcia Angell, Editor-in-Chief of the New England Journal of Medicine; Dr. Eric S. Lander, Director of the Whitehead/MIT Center for Genome Research; and Dr. Arthur L. Caplan, Director of the Center for Bioethics at the University of Pennsylvania. The Whitehead Institute and ASLME plan to offer the conference for three reasons: (1) the overwhelming response to a previous interdisciplinary symposium on the Human Genome Project (1998), which attracted more than double the number of expected attendees; (2) the rapid changes in technology over the past two years; and (3) the dramatic rise in public interest and concern about a broad range of topics in human genetics and agriculture. Participants will leave the conference with a clear perspective on how current advances in biology will affect their own fields, extensive background materials, continuing education credits (in medicine and law), and new insights into the impact of the genetics revolution on society as a whole. The conference organizers will disseminate the results of the conference through a specially prepared CD-ROM; through a special issue of ASLME's Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics; and through articles submitted to leading medical and scientific journals.

描述：（申请人的摘要）拟议的会议，遗传学和 社会：新技术对法律，医学和政策的影响将带来 共有800多名医生，律师，伦理学家，科学家，神职人员， 学生，消费者和消费者倡导探索机会和 今天的研究挑战。全国各地的头条新闻 说明了对遗传学革命的公共利益日益增长的兴趣。是否 主题是基因工程的食物，强制性的DNA测试，进展 分子医学或遗传隐私，人们想知道何时以及如何 将受到影响。然而，社区领导人，例如医生，律师， 立法者，神职人员和教师通常缺乏所需的信息 提供令人满意的答案。会议由白人组织 生物医学研究所，与美国社会 法律，医学和道德（ASLME）将于2000年5月10日，11日和12日举行。 确认的演讲者和小组成员包括：NIH主任Harold Varmus博士； 美国最高法院大法官斯蒂芬·布雷耶（Stephen Breyer）；史蒂文·海曼（Steven Hyman）博士 国家心理健康研究所； Marcia Angell博士，主编 新英格兰医学杂志； Eric S. Lander博士，主任 Whitehead/MIT基因组研究中心；以及Arthur L. Caplan博士 宾夕法尼亚大学生物伦理学中心。白头 研究所和Aslme计划提供会议的原因有三个：（1） 对先前对人类的跨学科研讨会的压倒性反应 基因组项目（1998），吸引了预期数量的两倍多 与会者； （2）过去两年技术的快速变化； （3） 公共利益的急剧上升和对广泛主题的关注 在人类遗传学和农业中。参与者将与 关于当前生物学进步将如何影响自己的明确观点 领域，广泛的背景材料，继续教育学分（在 医学和法律），以及对遗传学革命影响的新见解 在整个社会上。会议组织者将传播结果 会议通过专门准备的CD-ROM；通过特刊 ASLME法律，医学与道德杂志；并通过提交给的文章 领先的医学和科学期刊。
