the Code - Disability and Genetic Engineering

Questioning issues of genetic
engineering from the perspective of people with disabilities,
this forum uses arts projects as a springboard for insights into
the role of arts to engage in broader social debates.
- What does
the debate about human genetic engineering say about how society
treats people, and people with disabilities in particular?
- What ethical issues confront
artsworkers with disabilities when engaging on these issues?
- How can the voices of people
with disabilities best contribute to such debates?
Panel

specialising in tissue engineering and is Artistic Director of
