How should we think about the responsibilities and opportunities that these futures afford? What do we owe our distant descendants?
The speakers incude:
Professor Sir Partha Dasgupta on "What we owe to ourselves"
Professor Rae Langton on "The end of life"
Lord Martin Rees on "Life in a cosmic perspective"
Chaired by Huw Price.
