Cambridge Day 3
It has rained almost the whole day. But the keynote addresses were lively as was the symposium on science and theology. Nigel Cameron, a bioethicist, gave both a keynote address and a presentation at the symposium. He laid out some of the difficult bioethical issues facing us. He said that the past 30 years the main focus has been on what he calls embryology. He believes that the central focus for the next 30 years will be human enhancement/augmentation.
William Romanowski, Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences at Calvin College, gave an engaging and witty presentation, "Off to See the Wizard: Cinema, Self, and the Search for Meaning." In the afternoon symposium, in addition to Nigel Cameron, R. J. Berry, retired geneticist from the University College, London presented.
We ate our first meal in the Dining Hall at Clare. (For breakfast we eat in a downstairs room called "The Buttery.") On the walls there are portraits of famous Clare graduates, among whom are Latimer (burned at the stake by Queen Mary) and Cornwallis. Here is a picture of dinner:
