Previous Smith Lectures: 2004
In 2004, Dr Megan Best addressed the topic "Designer Humans: is any room left for God?"
The lecture, in the Australian Stock Exchange auditorium, was attended by 160 people who heard Dr Best outline the opportunities and challenges that bio-technological advances present to our understanding of what it means to be human. She suggested that the Bible's teaching that we are created by God and find our purpose in him offers a framework for handling future ethical issues.
