“It’s In My Genes! ”  How important are genes in sports?

 

Is being a great rugby player down to your genes? Is it fair for athletic clubs to use genetic tests to select new recruits? And would it ever be acceptable to change your genes to enhance sporting performance?

Techniquest, Stuart Street, Cardiff Bay CF10 5BW

 

Speakers include:

Prof Bill Bell,
