CRISPR-Cas9 and the Theo-Ethics of Gene Editing

A panel-guided ethical and theological dialogue

The Faith and Life Sciences Reference Group of The Canadian Council of Churches

In the past 10 years, CRISPR technology has made a reality of human gene editing as well as creating novel genetically modified plants and animals. Applications include human health, human enhancement, food source enhancement, pest elimination, and the creation of innovative biological weapons. Using both an ethical and theological lens, our panel will guide our conversation on the potential risks and benefits of this new technology.

On November 3, 2021 (4-5:30 PM), we invite you to join

Dr. Francoise Baylis, University Research Professor, NTE Impact Ethics, Faculty of Medicine, Dalhousie University
Dr. Moira McQueen, Executive Director, Canadian Catholic Bioethics Institute
Rev. Dr. Tracy Trothen, Professor of Ethics, Queen’s University
