Talk by Prof. Henry T. (Hank) Greely from Stanford University on “Genetics, Stem Cells, and the Future of Human Reproduction”
The “Human Reproduction Reloaded | H2R” project of the University of Zurich has the pleasure to invite you to the talk “Genetics, Stem Cells, and the Future of Human Reproduction” by Prof. Henry T. (Hank) Greely from Stanford University.
The talk will be take place online on 23 November 2022 from 18.00-19.15 (CET / Swiss time). To receive the Zoom details, please register your attendance using the form below.
In this talk Prof. Greely will discuss ways that the biosciences, particularly genetics and stem cell research, are likely to change, for some people, how they make babies. Genetics will be important in embryo selection and, to some extent, in germ line editing. Stem cell research will be important in making eggs and sperm from somatic cells, such as skin cells, and, in the long run, in producing an “artificial uterus” and full ex vivo pregnancy. Prof. Greely will lay out the science but will focus on the ethical, legal, social, and political implications of these changes.
The talk will be chaired by Prof. Bernhard Rütsche from the University of Lucerne in Switzerland.

H2R Summer School

The rapidly changing medical technologies on human reproduction bring forth a variety of complex ethical and legal questions which the University Research Priority Program “Human Reproduction Reloaded” (H2R) is dedicated to exploring. The 2022 H2R Summer School will delve further into notions of kinship, parenthood, and family within the context of reproductive medicine. Approaching this topic from their respective fields of Social Anthropology, Ethics, Sociology, Medical Psychology, Law and Gender Studies, the plenary speakers will investigate how our contemporary medical technologies of human reproduction, such as assisted reproductive technologies (ART), affect discourses and practices on kinship.
Prof. Ulrike Ehlert: “Family Relations. An Introduction to the Topics of the Summer School”
Prof. Jeannette Edwards: “Making and Breaking Kinship” (Keynote)
Prof. David Archard: “The Right to Parent and Reproductive Possibilities”
Prof. Heike Trappe: “A Sociological View on Medically Assisted Reproduction From a German Perspective”
Prof. Beate Ditzen: “Attachment as a Mediating Mechanism in the Intergenerational Transmission of Norms, Values, and Biopsychological Variables”
Prof. Michelle Cottier: “Gendered Normativities: The Legal Regulation of Reproductive Medicine and Family Relations”

Brown Bag Lunch with Pawel Pelczar
Genetically modified animals play a vital role in biomedical research. They often help us to understand complex biological phenomena or serve as disease models. CRISPR/Cas9 and other recently developed genome engineering techniques have greatly simplified the transgenesis process and thus increased our capacity to rapidly generate genetically modified organisms. In my talk I will summarize the advances in the field of animal genome engineering as well as address technical and ethical challenges created by these new technologies.
