In this mind-expanding conversation, entrepreneur & TEDMED co-creator Marc Hodosh will interview two pioneering innovators--Dean Kamen (founder of FIRST Robotics, the Segway and numerous medical inventions) and Martine Rothblatt (founder of Sirius XM Radio and biotech firm United Therapeutics)--who have embarked on boundary-pushing initiatives to mass produce human organs.

Nov-3rd 4:00 pm

Transparent Creator and Executive Producer Jill Soloway will join Sirius XM Founder and transhumanist Martine Rothblatt, alongside activist and Black Lives Matter Toronto founder janaya khan, to imagine a future without these guardrails on our identities.
