Bass Professor of Government Harvard University The Case Against Perfection: Ethics in the Age of Genetic Engineering Monday, May 7 4:30-6:00 pm Berkeley City Club 2315 Durant Ave [map] (between Dana & Ellsworth; 1 block from campus; )

Michael Sandel is one of America’s foremost political and moral thinkers. In his new book, The Case Against Perfection: Ethics in the Age of Genetic Engineering, Sandel argues that the pursuit of perfection through genetic “enhancement” represents a bid for mastery and domination that could profoundly undermine values of equality, democracy and community.

This is Michael Sandel's first visit to the Bay Area to discuss these topics. It will be a unique opportunity for dialogue on the wide range of questions that his new book addresses.
