I'm presenting at the https://t.co/r6JMvhOq0b conference on Saturday. My talk is "The Moral Obligations of Prospective Parents." I will explore the question of when it is morally acceptable to become parents .

https://t.co/MMGAHTWdzE confirms things I already knew. Diversity is lacking: bioethicists tend to be white, highly educated, liberal, and secular. However, I found it fascinating to read how many consider themselves consequentialists, deontologists, virtue ethicists, etc.

@Prof_Kaczor I love this essay so much! I think it would be great for every undergraduate to read.

Surprising: that women who experience moderate or severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome on an initial cycle for egg sale would choose to undergo ovarian stimulation for egg sale again. Why? Financial need? Ignorance of risk? If not banned, egg sale should be regulated.

@ProfJoyceHarper Some important information for egg donors and intended parents to know. OHSS is more common in #eggdonors than thought. #eggdonation

The current chemo drug shortages show that drug shortages are not just an issue during pandemics. My question: Why doesn't supply and demand solve the issue with generics? Is government stockpiling of key drugs the best answer? https://t.co/ZKrcNTT9J8
