This video is from the "World Science Festival" meeting that took place on May 31st, 2007 in New York on the topic of "What it Means to Be Human."
The event was moderated by Charlie Rose. Participants include philosopher Daniel Dennett, artist Jonathan Harris, AI researcher Marvin Minsky, anthropologist Ian Tattersall, geneticist Francis Collins, neuroscientist Antonio Damasio, philosopher Patricia Churchland, sociologist Nikolas Rose, embryonic stem cell biologist Renee Reijo Pera, and Nobel Laureates Harold Varmus and Paul Nurse.
In this clip, Nikolas Rose expresses doubts that the field of neuroethics will have any radical implications for jurisprudence, to which both Patricia Churchland and Francis Collins agree. Paul Nurse then brings up the problem of freewill, an issue which Daniel Dennett has written extensively on.
