Topic, "Ethical Quandaries in Genetics"
At 7PM on Wednesday 1 April, at Taste, in College Park, we'll have a
fascinating discussion for you.
The relatively new field of genetics and its changes in what we /can/ do
raises ethical questions about what we /should/ do. Local geneticist
Patricia Wheeler will present several real cases and the moral
conundrums they bring with them.
Dr Wheeler has both a MD (from Indiana University School of Medicine)
and an MS (in medical and molecular genetics also from IU School of
Medicine). She did residencies in both Pediatrics and Clinical Genetics
and is board certified in both specialties. She is division chief of
Genetics and Metabolism at Nemours Children's Clinic here in Orlando.
Remember, new venue since March!
We changed venues last month. Be sure to remind friends who might not
know.
We meet at 7PM on Wednesday 1 April, at Taste, in College Park. The
address:
Taste

Taste is near the corner of Princeton Street (really Smith Street after
the fork) and Edgewater Drive, so about 2 minutes from I-4 to parking.
One can park on the street or in the parking lot behind Taste.
* From Downtown and south, drive north ("east") on I-4 through
downtown. At the exit for Princeton Street, exit and turn
left/west.
* From Altamonte Springs and north, drive south ("west") on I-4
toward downtown Orlando. At the exit for Princeton Street, exit and
turn right/west.
From I-4, drive a few blocks to Edgewater Drive. At the intersection,
you should see a orange building ahead of you, labled "Taste". Park on
the street or behind Taste.
