The Classic Readings in Genetics & Ethics seminar series was co-sponsored by the Stanford Center for Integration of Research on Genetics and Ethics (CIRGE) and the Stanford Center for Biomedical Ethics. The seminar focused on discussing a different classic article, topic, or case related to genetics and ethics, and its relevance to a more recent article or case.

This course covers legal issues related to genetics and genomics research, practice, and policy. The course objectives include addressing the response of the law and the legal system to advances in genomic and genetic information and technologies and anticipating and positing legal responses for the future.
