The Center for Christian Bioethics will host New York Times science reporter and best-selling author Gina Kolata in the upcoming program, “Genetic Testing: Would You Want to Know.” The event will take place at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 10 in the Damazo Amphitheater in Centennial Complex, 24760 Stewart St., Loma Linda.
Kolata will address attendees on the topic of genetic testing for gene mutation, which is a focal point of her latest book Mercies in Disguise. The book is a non-fiction work on the subject of hope through science. Kolata is a senior medical writer with the Times, the author of nine books, and a two-time Pulitzer finalist.
The Center for Christian Bioethics was founded in 1984 by physician and professor of religion and Christian ethics Jack W. Provonsha and has developed a tradition of bringing key thinkers, scholars and public figures to Loma Linda University Health to preserve the heritage of thinking about ethics and medicine in the subject of faith.
