There is an ethical elephant in the room! There is a lot more to The Keeper series than waht usually gets talked about. Charity offers us Sydney Rosenberger's thoughtful and friendly critique of the Keeper of the Lost Cities series. Rosenberger, a children's librarian, contacted Charity after Charity reviewed the first book of the Keeper of the Lost Cities series and shows us that there is much more that we need to talk about. Listen and discover the ethical and bioethical issues which are raised and never answered in the series. Learn how to "unpack the ethics" of Sophie's cloned existence. This podcast/essay makes room for you and your child to discuss "Is it ever okay to treat a person as an object? What if its for a good reason? What if the person consents later to being used?" This essay/podcast gives you the inside scoop on the Keeper Series without having to read thousands(!) of pages.
