Ethics discussion with Dwars

Today, two of our teammates travelled to Utrecht to be present at a meeting of DWARS, the youth department of the political party Green Left. The meeting was held to discuss synthetic biology. We started by giving them a small presentation on synthetic biology, iGEM and the ethical side of this. After giving them this information we participated with them in a small debate. It was a very fruitful evening and we think that both sides exploited this situation to the fullest. More information on this discussion can be found here.
