Panelists discussed medical and genetic ethics. The panelists represented differing schools of thought on the development of bioethics. Discussion ranged from the study of genetics in the last thirty years and the way in which genetic information will be distributed by the medical community in the future to include issues such as biological weapons, informed consent, experimental treatments, and euthanasia. After the discussion the panelists fielded questions from members of the audience.

Allen E. Buchanan wrote Deciding for Others: The Ethics of Surrogate Decision Making and co-edited From Chance to Choice: Genetics and Justice, both published by Cambridge University Press.

James F. Childress co-wrote Principles of Biomedical Ethics and wrote Who Should Decide?: Paternalism in Health Care, both published by Oxford University Press; Practical Reasoning in Bioethics, published by Indiana University Press; and Priorities in Biomedical Ethics, published by John Knox close
