Ep 81: Bioethics Jul 12, 2020

Show notes

We’re right in the middle of the summer and the coronavirus pandemic in the United States and other countries around the world continues to spread with little end in sight. What’s a better time than now to talk about bioethics? Today I’m in conversation with Dr. Joe Stramondo (@PhilosopherCrip). Joe is an assistant professor of philosophy and associate director of the Institute for Ethics and Public Affairs at San Diego State University. His teaching and writing focus primarily on the intersection of philosophy of disability and bioethics. We spoke in late April of this year after we were both on Ethics Talk, a podcast by the AMA Journal on Ethics. Joe will describe how he got into philosophy and bioethics, what bioethics is, and some of his recent writing on the impact of the pandemic on disabled people.
