Show Notes

In this episode, we dissect (no pun intended) the issue of abortion, discussing both the object level political and moral considerations and the political polarization around the issue. We discuss the rights based framing of abortion but also spend time on the less discussed utilitarian/consequentialist frame. We discuss the reasonable moral intuitions on both sides and the tendency of each side to misrepresent the other. We end with a series of thought experiments to illustrate how advances in technology might affect our moral intuitions on the topic.
