THE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY SEMINAR SERIES
presents
Dr. Sheila Jasanoff
Professor of Science and Public Policy
Harvard Kennedy School
Biotechnology's Moral Compass:
The Comparative Politics of Bioethics
____________________________________
Thursday, April 5
4:30-6:30 PM
in the Stella Room, Bldg. 7 - Room 336
(enter 77 Mass. Ave.)
____________________________________
By the end of the 20th century, bioethics had dramatically moved out
of universities and ethics committees into the high politics of
national governments and international regimes. Sheila Jassanoff
compares the uptake of moral concerns around biotechnology in the
political systems of the US, Britain, and Germany and shows that the
institutionalization of bioethics has been far from uniform in these
three industrial democracies. The comparative politics of bioethics
thus provides a window on the politics of technology more generally.
It underscores close connections between risk perceptions and
political culture and allows us to assess the deliberative capacities
of different democratic societies in the face of rapid scientific and
technological change.
Part of a series of talks for an environmental policy seminar that is
being sponsored by the Department of Urban Studies and Planning, MIT.
