UCF Center for Ethics: "Synthetic Living Organisms: Heralds of a Revolution in Technology & Ethics"

"Synthetic Living Organisms: Heralds of a Revolution in Technology and Ethics,” presented by Dr. Michael Levin, Distinguished Professor and Vannevar Bush Professor of Biology, Tufts University, on October 12, 2021. Progress at the intersection of biology, computer science, and cognitive science is revealing the remarkable plasticity of living systems and their interoperability with technology. Synthetic bioengineering enables regenerative medicine, as well as the creation of entirely new living organisms, like “Xenobots.” Advances in the field blur the lines between machines and organisms. Emerging questions in bioethics extend well beyond safety-driven limitations on research and ask how we will handle a forthcoming and inevitable plethora of hybrid creatures, which will be unlike us in many ways and have no comfortable place on the phylogenetic tree that guides our policies. This presentation is part of “Ethically Speaking: A UCF Interdisciplinary Series on Contemporary Moral Issues.” This series is sponsored by: Center for Ethics, UCF Colleges of Graduate Studies, UCF College of Science, UCF College of Community Innovation and Education, UCF CREOL, The College of Optics and Photonics, UCF College of Arts and Humanities, UCF Office of Compliance, Ethics, and Risk, UCF Department of Chemistry Department of Physics Department of Philosophy Department of Psychology Department of Biology Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of Materials Science and Engineering Learn more about the UCF Center for Ethics and “Ethically Speaking: A UCF Interdisciplinary Series on Contemporary Moral Issues": https://ethicscenter.research.ucf.edu/ 📰 What’s new at the UCF College of Arts and Humanities: https://news.cah.ucf.edu/newsroom 🗓 Upcoming events: https://www.cah.ucf.edu/newsroom/events/ 💭 Study with us: https://bit.ly/3hPNB16 💻 Follow CAH on social!

The arts and humanities help our students see the world through different lenses. They are where you learn to write and communicate more effectively, explore creativity, and study culture to better understand how we interact with each other.” — Jeff Moore, dean of the UCF College of Arts and Humanities
