Description
Several fields of science and engineering, including synthetic biology, neuroengineering, computer science, and nanotechnology, are working toward the creation of new forms of and modifications to life. This session will explore what we can do now to create synthetic life, what has already been done, and what we might do in the future. The session will include a discussion on possible frameworks for how science and society can responsibly move forward together.
