The traveling show, TAKE CARE: Biomedical Ethics in the Twenty-First Century features 14 sculpture, video, and photographic works by nine international contemporary artists whose work addresses the unprecedented bioethical dilemmas brought about by the rapid advancement of medical technology.

This advancement has brought with it unprecedented bioethical dilemmas. Particularly in economically advanced countries, technologies are outpacing our ability to fully understand their moral implications. The exhibit TAKE CARE: Biomedical Ethics in the Twenty-First Century considers civilization’s unease with modern family planning, maternal and fetal care, childbirth, and child rearing. This includes the decision to use pharmaceuticals with their associated risks, and whether to risk passing on genetic diseases. In these situations, we are no longer able to rely on long-established religious, societal or medical expertise for guidance, and too often, we only grapple with such problems at the time of crisis.
