Genetic privacy: To share or not to share?
Dana Waring will lead an interactive discussion about genetic privacy – what it means, what to consider regarding how and if to share your genetic information, and the new legal protections in place to give people control over their genetic profiles. Join us for a non-technical, lively conversation at the Portland Public Library on Thursday October 1st at 6pm about the personal and societal questions that are on the rise as access to our own DNA increases, and genetics becomes an increasingly powerful tool in fields as diverse medicine, law enforcement, and ancestry.
