Episode 17: Let's Talk About Abortion

Listen Later

A thoughtful, well-informed discussion that only occasionally strays into insane thought experiments.

  • The legal framework for abortion;
  • Moral intuitions around viability;
  • Ileana's abortion story;
  • Hypothetical no. 1: engineering a perfect artificial womb and/or an animal with developing sentience;
  • Who owns the (real) frozen embryos?
  • Hypothetical no. 2: Brad gets Mary pregnant...

    • ...and much, much more.
