Brave New Us explores how emerging technologies are reshaping life, identity, and morality. Hosted by Catholic bioethicist and author Samantha Stephenson, the podcast sits at the crossroads of faith, science, and ethics, offering expert interviews and incisive commentary on topics like transhumanism, reproductive tech, AI, human enhancement, and the pro-life implications of biotech innovation.
Whether you’re parenting in a digital age, questioning the ethics of cutting-edge science, or simply seeking clarity in a world rushing toward transhumanism, Brave New Us gives you the insight to think critically, live intentionally, and stay human in a world seeking to redesign us.
Samantha holds master’s degrees in theology and bioethics, is a Paul Ramsey Fellow at the Center for Bioethics and Culture, and a former course instructor at Notre Dame’s McGrath Institute.
