Advances in genetics, stem cell technology and assisted reproduction are likely to substantially diminish at least one meaning of “sex” in human life–the use of sexual intercourse to conceive the next generation. SLS alumni are invited to join fellow Stanford alumni as leading health-law expert and Stanford Professor Hank Greely explores the ethical, legal, social and practical implications of this brave new world of human reproduction.

6:30 p.m. (check-in and registration)

Wine and hors d’ouvres will be served at the catered reception.
