SF Debate: The Ethics of Personal Genetics in collaboration with the Commonwealth Club
Recent technological breakthroughs have allowed scientists to sequence an individual’s genome or look for specific genes in little time and at a relatively affordable cost. How do these developments affect our lives? Explore the ethical questions surrounding information revealed by genome sequencing and learn how that information is currently used, understood, and protected in this special SF Debate co-presented by the Exploratorium and the Commonwealth Club of California.

Housed within the walls of San Francisco's landmark Palace of Fine Arts, the Exploratorium is a collage of hundreds of interactive exhibits in the areas of science, art, and human perception.
The Exploratorium stands in the vanguard of the movement of the 'museum as educational center.' It provides access to, and information about, science, nature, art, and technology.
This unique museum was founded in 1969 by noted physicist and educator Dr. Frank Oppenheimer, who devoted his efforts to it—and was its director—until his death in 1985. From 1991 until 2005, the museum was led by renowned French scientist and educator Dr. Goéry Delacôte. In May 2006, nationally known science education and policy expert Dr. Dennis M. Bartels was named Executive Director.
