Edinburgh International Science Festival

Remaking Humans
the Implications of Nanotechnology

Monday April 4, 17:30 - 19:00 p.m.
Royal Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh

Imagine tiny machines inside the body delivering life-saving chemicals to cancerous cells. Or performance-enhancing chips in the brain helping disabled people. Just some of the hopes when nanotechnology joins forces with genetics, mind science and IT. But what if it meant supercharging the able-bodied or athletes going for gold by altering their genes? What's realistic? What's ethical and whose values should be driving it? Join us to discuss the implications of human nanotechnology.

Del Stark, chemist, Institute of Nanotechnology
Baroness Susan Greenfield CBE, neuroscientist, Professor of Pharmacology, University of Oxford
Dr Donald Bruce, ethicist, Society Religion and Technology Project, Church of Scotland

Tickets £6/£4 on the door. Book by phone 0131-473 2070; by post: Science Festival Box Office, The Hub, Castle Hill, Edinburgh EH1 2ME; or call at The Hub
