What is in the Dish? Hope, Hype and the Future of Stem Cell Research

It is in the news every day: the potential and peril of stem cell research. Is this revolutionary technology a Faustian bargain, or a fountain of youth? Dr. McGee is the most often quoted, most often consulted advisor on the political and ethical issues in stem cell research. In his creative presentation, he covers the key issues and electrifying developments. In a smart, creative presentation he brings together everything you need to know about the debate on stem cell research.

Perfect People: The Science of Human Improvement

In his bestselling book The Perfect Baby, one of America's best known
bioethicists brings to life the modern quest to improve on human nature. The art and science of enhancement has come a long way in the last decade. Today, pharmaceuticals, surgery, and even diet and exercise help people make themselves look better, do more, control their personalities, and even have more and better sex. But what does it all mean? How do we decide when less is more? No American has thought more, or been quoted more often, on the subject of making better people than Dr. McGee. His thought provoking presentation, with or without multimedia, is customized and has received accolades from Presidents, corporate leaders, physicians and large meetings.

Beyond Genetics: A User's Guide

Just as the industrial age begat the information age, the digital world and its technologies are ushering in a new age of biological possibilities. The distinctions between 20th and 21st century genetics really depend on an understanding of the "operating system" of genetics, the framework within which scientists, policymakers, clinicians, and the rest of us understand what a gene is and what genomics is for. New tools are now emerging for putting genetic information to even more revolutionary uses. Those tools – computer software combined with genetic hardware using an extraordinarily expanded base of genetic information – will make bold new choices in biological applications possible. Geneware renders genetic information in graphic form with an eye to the uses you have at your disposal. Leaders who run from genetics, or settle for an understanding of their father's genetics instead of learning about geneware, won't just be at a disadvantage. They won't be leaders at all.

Preparing for a Hidden Revolution

Most employers, their managers, and even their health and work life consultants, know virtually nothing about the genetic revolution. In an age of genetic tests, every worker has a heredity sensitivity, and virtually every workplace environment – from the carpeted skyscraper to the small manufacturing plant – can now be linked to specific genetic risks for at least a few of the people who work there. Smart businesses are facing the tough ethical and business decisions this year, preparing health and disability insurance plans for the few workers who will get sick and file landmark lawsuits, and working to insure that the company knows everything it can know about genetic risks in the workplace to prevent problems. Drawing on a decade of work and on more than 15 years of intensive research in business, genetics, and ethics, Dr. McGee is the best known analyst of what genes mean for you right now.

Speaker Information

Glenn McGee, PhD, is considered a leader of a new generation in the field of biotechnology, the most massively researched and progressive field in history. Not limited to healthcare, biotechnology also comprises the progress and discovery of trends and innovations that until now seemed unbelievable or confined to the world of science fiction.

Dr. McGee's authoritative commentary on the effect of new technology on our future is constantly in the public eye, from The Financial Times London to "Oprah" to his NPR Commentary. No person has had greater access to the intimate details of the public and private dilemmas of biotechnology. Dr. McGee is also the only authority who has the ability to both conceptualize the science of biotech in terms that audiences can easily understand. He explains biotech's impact in all aspects of our society and culture, including the way we educate, raise families, and do business.

Currently Assistant Professor of Medical Ethics, Philosophy, and Biostatistics & Epidemiology at the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. McGee is also Associate Director for Education at the Center for Bioethics and co-Director of the Concentration in Bioethics in the College of Arts and Sciences. Before coming to Penn, he was Director of the Center for Applied and Professional Ethics at the University of Massachusetts. He is also a Senior Fellow of the Wharton School's Leonard Davis Institute for Economics. Dr. McGee received his Ph.D. in philosophy from Vanderbilt University and completed post-doctoral fellowships at Harvard University and the National Institutes of Health. He has recently served on commissions of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, National Human Genome Research Institute, Centers for Disease Control, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Senate Appropriations Committee, and on the Board of Directors of Planned Parenthood of America.

Dr. McGee is currently Editor in Chief of the American Journal of Bioethics, and is Senior Editor of MIT Press' bioethics book series. He is the author of both The Perfect Baby: Parenthood in the New World of Cloning and Genetics and a study of ethical issues in bioinformatics entitled Beyond Genetics. He has edited Pragmatic Bioethics, The Human Cloning Debate, and, with Arthur Caplan and David Magnus, Who Owns Life. His more than 100 publications have appeared in Science, Journal of the American Medical Association, and British Medical Journal. In addition to his scholarly work, he has published a number of editorials in prominent newspapers and appeared on most major television and radio news programs, including "60 Minutes," "World News Tonight," "All Things Considered," and "Fresh Air."

Twice honored by the Yale School of Law for his "outstanding work and unmatched imagination in social policy," Dr. McGee is well-known for crafting lectures that bring common sense to bear on the particular client's needs. Time after time, participants in his workshops and lectures comment that his ideas have sparked their own. As leader of the world’s fourth largest medical website, a major journal, and a research program at University of Pennsylvania, McGee has been a teacher for almost two decades who has energized leaders to think in smart ways that do not fade. His files are filled with letters thanking him for the inspiration to write a new law, build a more efficient personnel evaluation program, invent a new software program, or start a new career.
