DNA Databanks
Greater Good or Personal Peril?
PUBLIC MEETING
Monday, 17 May, 7.00pm
There is no doubt that the creation of DNA databanks for the whole
population will have far-reaching consequences for us all. But will gene
banks represent a threat to our civil liberties, an intrusion too many into
our private lives, or a major step forward for healthcare and scientific
research?
What do you think?
Come and discuss/debate the issues with
Genetics researcher, Mark Bailey
Angus MacDonald, statistician and expert in genetics & insurance
Professor of General Practice, Graham Watt
Marie Campbell, whose family has a history of cancer
Journalist and broadcaster Pennie Taylor will be in the Chair
COME ALONG AND HAVE YOUR SAY!
