The Human Genome Project: A Choices and Challenges Forum

Principal Investigator(s): Zallen, Doris

Institution: Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University

FOA Number: N/A

Abstract

A full day public education forum on the HGP, to be held in 1992, is being planned as part of the Choices and Challenges forum series at Virginia Tech. This series was established in 1985 to provide public audiences with information about recent scientific and technological advances and to explore social and ethical issues related to these advances. The one day forum on the HGP is designed with three separate components: tutorial and briefing groups that will provide scientific, historical, and ethical background; a plenary session, that will be teleconferenced nationally; and a post-plenary portion, concluding the program with in-depth discussions involving the presenters and the audience. Forum videotapes, newspaper articles, and public service programs, based on the conference, will foster continued community-wide consideration of the HGP.
