LiveTalk Lectures for the 2010–2011 Series
September 30, 2010 Looking for the Good News in Your Genome
with Dr. Jasper Rine, University of California, Berkeley
Dr. Jasper Rine is a world famous geneticist, member of the National
Academy of Sciences and past winner of UC Berkeley Distinguished
Teaching Award. He teaches in the Department of Molecular and Cell
Biology.
The technology exists today for a person to have
his/her DNA analyzed to learn about their ancestry and to learn about
predispositions for many diseases with a genetic basis. While these
tests are currently rather expensive, it’s only a matter of time before
they become affordable for most people. The legal, medical and ethical
implications are enormous.
For this Fall's freshman project,
Dr. Rine initiated a genetic testing project to educate and engage
Berkeley freshman in thinking about the issues around “personalized
medicine”. This program quickly became quite controversial, attracting
national news coverage and prompting Dr. Rine to be called before the
California legislature.
Dr. Rine will discuss the promise for
improving human health through the revolution in DNA technologies, the
controversy engendered by this year's “On the Same Page” program, and an
analysis of the results of the DNA test
He is a wonderful speaker, whose talks are humorous, provocative and engaging.

Imperfect Endings: A Daughter’s Tale of Life and Death
with Zoe FitzGerald Carter
Zoe FitzGerald Carter, the author of Imperfect Endings,
shares the story of her family’s struggle upon hearing her mother’s
decision to end her life after living with Parkinson’s disease for many
years. Ms. Carter will read a short passage from her book and discuss
the many issues that were raised during this gut-wrenching journey,
including the moral and ethical issues surrounding assisted suicide.
Many
of us are members of the “sandwich generation”, confronted with caring
for our aging parents while we also care for our growing children.
“There are 75 million baby boomers in this country all going through
some version of my story. Having a parent die is a profound rite of
passage and my hope is that by seeing how my very ‘imperfect’ family
dealt with it, people will feel less alone,” says Ms. Carter.
During
the last year of her mother’s life, Zoe discovered that this kind of
experience can be very isolating. She notes that “we tend to be uneasy
about death in our culture and it can be difficult to talk openly about
it. Writing the book was an attempt to pull back the veil in some small
way.” Since the book was published, she has had the opportunity to talk
with many people about their experiences. She will share some of these
stories and insights during this event, and hopes that the audience will
also share their thoughts and ideas as well. Her web site is at www.zoefitzgeraldcarter.com

March 17, 2011 In the Matter of Cha Jung Hee (film screening and discussion) with Deann Borshay Liem, filmmaker
“Her
passport said she was Cha Jung Hee. She knew she was not. So began a
40-year deception for a Korean adoptee who came to the U.S. in 1966.
Told to keep her true identity a secret from her new American family,
this eight-year-old girl quickly forgot she was ever anyone else. But
why had her identity been switched? And who was the real Cha Jung Hee?” (www.katahdin.org/sponsored/precious/intro.html)
Borshay Liem’s documentary, In the Matter of Cha Jung Hee
is the recipient of the Winner, Audience Award, San Francisco Asian
American Festival, Best Directing and Editing, Los Angeles Asian Pacific
Festival. Come join us in a viewing of her compelling documentary
followed by a fascinating discussion with the filmmaker herself.
Celebrating 50 years of Excellence! The College Preparatory School is an independent coeducational day
school, grades 9-12, for intellectual risk-takers who want to pursue a
