A Cafe with a difference.  You are invited to take part in a discussion about the ethics of human enhancement.

The Democs game is part of a European Community project ‘Science in Society’ and is a chance to explore whether we should try to enhance the human body and brain using new technologies.

Feedback from these discussions will help produce a report to the EC about public views on enhancement, and whether regulations might be needed.

No previous knowledge about the topic is required but as with all Café Scientifique, bring an open mind and expect an interesting evening.

Arrive 7.30pm for a 7.45pm start.  Finish 9.30pm.

New Headingley Club,

56 St. Michael’s Road, Leeds LS6 3BG.
