A Transdisciplinary Response to Life
Presented By Dr. Christopher Montoya
No one issue sparks heated debate more than life itself. From the genetically modified organisms we consume, to eugenics, euthanasia, war and abortion. The moral choices humans make concerning life are neither logical, rational, or consistent. Life issues will be discussed in open forum from the scientific, political, legal, philosophical, and religious perspectives. As all these perspectives are human constructions they remain therefore a collection of highly correlated, evolved, genetic response sets. No one parallax, theory base, or ideology is seen as complete. All pieces must work together for the meta-theoretical gestalt of North America to reach its true potential. This transdisciplinary lecture is perspective stretching and is not intended for the faint of heart.
