Classic Readings in Genetics & Ethics

**Classic Readings in Genetics and Ethics will not be held during the 2012-2013 academic year. Instead, Classic Readings in Bioethics will be held during the 2012-2013 academic year. Please visit the page for Classic Readings in Bioethics to participate in that seminar!**

The Classic Readings in Genetics & Ethics seminar series is co-sponsored by CIRGE and the Stanford Center for Biomedical Ethics. Each week we will discuss a different classic article or case, and its relevance to a more recent article or case. All readings can be found online.

Information from the 2011-2012 seminar is below.
