The Bioethics Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

This episode is the second in a series of three looking at reproductive technologies from Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox perspectives. 

In the first episode, Marie T. Hilliard of the National Catholic Bioethics Center presented a Catholic approach to Reproductive technologies. 

This episode has Scott B. Rae, PhD, of Talbot School of Theology, Biola University, with a protestant approach. 

The series will conclude in the next episode with Gayle E. Woloschak, PhD, on an Orthodox approach.

Reproductive technologies, especially in vitro fertilization (IVF), remain at the forefront of the news and societal conversation in 2024.

In 2017, at our 24th annual conference, we held a colloquium on Catholic, Protestant, & Orthodox Approaches to Reproductive Technologies. Three speakers walked through their convictional approach to these issues, each in turn. 

This episode, then, begins a series of three episodes that will carry these talks. 

The first, in this episode, is by Marie T. Hilliard, JCL, PhD, RN, of the National Catholic Bioethics Center, presenting a Catholic approach to Reproductive technologies. 

The next episode will feature Scott B. Rae, PhD, with a Protestant approach, and the series will conclude with Gayle E. Woloschak, PhD, on an Orthodox approach to reproductive technology.

This episode of the podcast features an article written by our Executive Director on recent developments in artificial intelligence, particularly within the realm of healthcare. What do we need to know about these rapidly developing new technologies, and how might Christians think about and respond to AI?
