The Use of Human Tissue and Public Trust: The Chasm between Science and Ethics. Presented Monday September 19, 2011
The benefits from using human tissue/biomedical samples in research are great but do these benefits outweigh the possible harms to individuals or communities? This day-long conference will bring together researchers, clinicians, humanists, and members of the public to examine and discuss these ethical issues that impact us all.
