How will human cloning affect society?

‘A Number’ is being staged by the English-language theatre group That Theatre from 21st February to 24th March 2018.

The play takes on the theme of human cloning as a framework for deeper, existential questions. Who am I? What makes me, me? Am I unique?

Included on the panel will be:

• Joshua M. Brickman, Professor of Stem Cell and Developmental Biology, University of Copenhagen.
• Mickey Gjerris, Associate Professor in Bioethics, at University of Copenhagen
• Pia Søltoft, Vicar of the Marble Church (Marmorkirken) and former head of the Søren Kierkegaard Research Centre
