McGee, the John B. Francis Chair in Bioethics at the Center for Practical Bioethics, will discuss how science is giving us an opportunity, if not to actually live forever, to live an additional 25, 50, or 100 years in his inaugural lecture on February 24th at 6 PM.
But before you grab for that stem cell smoothie, McGee will ask his audience to grapple with many of the questions, not only of can we but of ought we extend our lives. Questions both for individuals but also for communities that were addressed in the December 2009 issue of AJOB.
