Show Notes
Carl Elliott is a philosophy professor at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis and a recipient of the Erikson Institute Prize for Excellence in Mental Health Media. His work focuses on the influence of market forces on medicine, the ethics of enhancement technologies, research ethics, the philosophy of psychiatry, and the work of Ludwig Wittgenstein and Walker Percy. His articles have appeared in such major publications as The New Yorker, Mother Jones, and The Atlantic Monthly, often covering dark topics with satiric humor.
Elliott has authored or edited seven books, including White Coat, Black Hat: Adventures on the Dark Side of Medicine, published in 2010. His latest book, published earlier this year, is The Occasional Human Sacrifice: Medical Experimentation and the Price of Saying No, which explores the events, motivations, and outcomes when whistleblowers try to expose scandalously abusive medical research.
