This year's National Undergraduate Bioethics Conference will be held at Duke University on March 18-20, 2011.

The National Undergraduate Bioethics Conference (NUBC) is sponsored annually by the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities, and draws students from around the country in an engaging discourse on the ethical, social and legal implications of development in science, technology and medicine.

This year's conference takes the theme "Bioethics: More Personal or More Global?" We hope the conference will encourage discussion about current controversies in bioethics, especially in the context of its evolution from a discipline concerned mainly with clinical medicine and biomedical technology to a broad field of inquiry in which global health and population-level bioethical issues are prevalent.

We encourage you to get involved by registering and also checking out the conference schedule and speaker profiles.

If you went to the Nancy Weaver Emerson Lecture Friday night, check out some of the questions that Jeremy Sugarman and Lawrence Kaplow didn't get to answer.
