John Wyatt is an Emeritus Professor of Neonatal Paediatrics, Ethics & Perinatology at University College London and a senior researcher at the Faraday Institute for Science and Religion. A former consultant neonatologist, he spent over 25 years caring for critically ill newborns and researching the causes, treatment, and prevention of brain injury in infants. His clinical experience led to a deep interest in the ethical challenges surrounding the beginning and end of life. Now retired from frontline medicine, he focuses on the philosophical, ethical, and theological implications of advances in medical technology, artificial intelligence, and robotics, particularly in relation to the Christian faith.
