SUMMARY:The Bioethics of Surrogacy: Looking Back and Ahead 
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is the third event in our series\, “Frontiers in the Ethics of Human Reproduction.”  \n\n\n\nSurrogacy is helping growing numbers of people fulfill their dream of becoming parents. But throughout its history\, from “Baby M” in the 1980s to various cases in the news today\, it has raised ethical and legal questions. How have those questions changed as surrogacy has evolved? What lessons can we learn to best support and protect prospective parents and children\, and surrogates?  \n\n\n\nThis webinar will be presented with Retro Report\, an award-winning independent\, nonprofit news organization that produces short documentaries that bring historical perspective to current issues for educators\, students\, and the public. Join us for a timely discussion with two legal/bioethics scholars and an educator with a surrogacy agency who has been a surrogate.  \n\n\n\nPanelists: \n\n\n\nJudith Daar\, JD\, is dean of Chase College of Law at Northern Kentucky University. She is the former chair of the Ethics Committee of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine and is an expert on legal issues concerning emerging technologies in family formation. \n\n\n\nKatherine L. Watson\, JD\, is a professor at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University and a Hastings Center Fellow. She is the author of Scarlet A: The Ethics\, Law\, and Politics of Ordinary Abortion (Oxford\, 2018) and is a member of the ethics committee of the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics. \n\n\n\nKelly Enders-Tharp\, M-Ed\, PMH-C\, is an education and experience specialist at Growing Generations\, a surrogacy agency. She is a former surrogate. \n\n\n\nModerator: \n\n\n\nVardit Ravitsky\, President\, The Hastings Center for Bioethics and a researcher in the field of reproductive ethics \n\n\n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Why Does the Holocaust Matter Today? (Post-production conversation)
DESCRIPTION:This talk will take place after the Broadway play Here There Are Blueberries. \n\n\n\nAs the generation that witnessed the Holocaust passes from living memory\, what responsibility (and opportunity) does its history place on us today? And how do we draw contemporary meaning from the Holocaust without distorting its history or instrumentalizing its suffering? David Goldman\, founder and chair of FASPE\, leads a conversation about the enduring relevance of—and the risks of universalizing—the Holocaust with Dr. Jens Jokisch\, German Consul General in New York\, and Vardit Ravitsky\, one of the world’s leading bioethicists and President and CEO of The Hastings Center. Together\, they bring distinctly different perspectives to a fundamental question: What does the Holocaust ask of us now? \n\n\n\nLEARN MORE AND PURCHASE TICKETS
