New Publication: Book Review
(2019) Review of Thomas H. Murray, Good Sport: Why Our Games Matter and How Doping Undermines Them, The American Journal of Bioethics, 19:10, W1- W2, DOI: 10.1080/15265161.2019.1654035
“In the end, Murray lays out a framework for those who make decisions in a rapidly developing techno- logical landscape that is transforming how we work, compete, think, and love.”
New media coverage
Recent media interviews:
Pandika, Melissa (2019, October 13). Young blood may hold the weapons for targeting age-related diseases. Chemical and Engineering News 97(40).
“Treatments that deliver individual factors targeting specific conditions may feel more palatable than dystopian scenarios of forced blood donation by the young, but they still raise thorny ethical questions. Most likely only the wealthy would have access to these factors, which are not likely to be covered by insurance or Medicare and Medicaid, says Craig M. Klugman, a bioethicist at DePaul University. This, in turn, could result in a healthier, longer-lived wealthy class and shorter-lived middle- and lower-income classes. Klugman also notes that improving the lives of the majority by devoting resources to their basic needs—which we can already do—“outweighs the science fiction dreams of a few.””
