Engineering Life:
To the ethical and societal relevance of synthetic biology
In the end of September we participated at this seminar at the Institute for Ethics and History of Medicine of the University of Freiburg. It was the last session in a variety of meetings during 3 years. All meetings were gathered under the topic of Engineering Life: An interdisciplinary approach to the ethics of synthetic biology . Here different institutions investigated in the field of synthetic biology with the aim to clarify
a) if it is justified to speak about creating life,
b) how the reproach against science to "play god" could theologically be interpreted,
c) how risks and chances of this field of research shall be analyzed,
d) if the legal regulations were appropriate,
e) if there is a divergence in the systematical conditioning and actual research in synthetic biology.
