September 30-October 2

Biological and ecological problems are increasingly understood and approached from an engineering perspective. In environmental contexts this is exemplified in the discourses around geoengineering, designer ecosystems, and assisted colonization. In human health contexts it is exemplified in the discourses around synthetic biology, bionanotechnology, and human enhancement. This workshop brings together ethicists, philosophers, and other researchers working on ethical issues related to engineering complex biological and ecological systems.
