Is your DNA your destiny? Will your next surgeon be a robot? Should insurance companies be allowed to screen your genes? Can we end aging? Can the ocean cure disease?

Beginning today, these–among others–are the pressing questions that the TEDMED conference will explore. For the fifth year running, brilliant minds will collaborate and converse for the next three days on “the intersection and connections between all things medical and healthcare related.”

Guests speakers include Martha Stewart, Goldie Hawn, Sanjay Gupta, Laura Ziskin, Deepak Chopra, and others.

Stay tuned as TakePart trails TEDMED and reports back on the day’s developments!
