Since Paul Wolpe’s talk on bioethics at TEDxPeachtree 2010, his talk has been featured on TED.com where it has received almost one million views and spurred much debate about the guidelines and rules, or lack thereof, governing the world of biotechnology.

Most recently, through his work with Emory University’s Center for Ethics, Wolpe has founded Biotechnology and the Ethical Imagination: A Global Summit (BEINGS). BEINGS is the first event of its kind to bring the public together with academic, civic, corporate and political leaders from 30 countries together to discuss the complicated implications and regulations of biotechnology. More than 1,000 participants will meet and address issues such as cloning, stem cell research, labeling laws for genetically modified products, and more May 17-19 at the Tabernacle in downtown Atlanta.

If you would like to attend this historical event, registration is now open on the BEINGS website, www.beings2015.org. You can follow along with updates on the summit on twitter at @beings2015 or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/BEINGS2015.ORG.
