New Species: Homo Sapiens Frater: Eleanor Luzes at TEDxRio+20

Everyone knows that maternity/ paternity marks a new lifecycle in any person. But are we prepared and conscious enough to generate, from conception, a more healthy, loving and sustainable society? Or do we need to go back to school to learn how to contribute? With her doctorate thesis "Science of the Beginning of Life" gaining space in public policy, the psychiatrist Eleanor Luzes is untiring in her battle for the collective evolution of our concept of family and species, the Homo Sapiens Frater.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
