The Ethics of Life and Death in the Brave New World: How Law and Morality Mix in the Biotech Future
Join us on March 25 from 12:00–1:00 PM in the Auditorium for an engaging discussion on law, ethics, and biotechnology with Nik Nikas, a seasoned litigator and legislative expert. His timely talk, “The Ethics of Life and Death in the Brave New World: How Law and Morality Mix in the Biotech Future,” will explore the intersection of legal and moral considerations in emerging technologies.
Following Nik’s presentation, a panel discussion will delve into the First Freedom Act, a landmark piece of legislation that recently secured significant protections for Nebraskans. Professor Duncan will provide insights into why he believes this is one of the most expansive Religious Freedom Restoration Acts (RFRAs) in the country and why it is essential for Nebraska lawyers to understand its impact.
