Genetic Welfare and Genetic Moral Enhancement as Part of Public Health Infrastructure
Online Working / Community Meetup for the Abolition of Suffering
Hi Alex, thanks for the kind words and thoughtful suggestion!
We actually run online events every other month, and everyone’s welcome to join. I’ll be setting up the next one soon, so I recommend following the Compassionate Future Initiative group page to stay in the loop.
As for the summit, making it hybrid would unfortunately compromise the community atmosphere we’re aiming to create. For more classic conference-style formats, where a safe, close-knit setting is less crucial, we might consider hybrid options in the future.
Hope to see you at one of the events—online or in person. :)
There’s no formal application deadline, but spots are limited and filling up at a considerable pace ;)

Dear EA Munich community,
Over the past few days, I’ve been pushing hard and worked intensely to finalise my introductory presentation on Genetic Welfare and Genetic Moral Enhancement as Part of Public Health Infrastructure—driven by deep enthusiasm and a strong desire to integrate the latest research and institutional insights of human genome editing and respective bioethics.
That said, I’ve come to recognise that despite my best efforts, this topic demands more time to do its importance justice. Compassionate genetics and enhancement being highly sensitive and controversial topics with profound potential for both risks and impact I acknowledge that care, thoughtfulness, and rigour must take priority over timeliness.
I’m still deeply committed to sharing what I believe will be a highly illuminating contribution to the ongoing conversation around EA cause prioritisation. Thank you for your patience—and stay tuned!
Warmly,
Ruth
