The most fundamental question that our polarized culture faces is this — Who should be included in the human community? And on what basis? Should embryos, fetuses, the severely demented or the persons in a vegetative state? What does our view of a person suggest about how we care for people at the end of life? Taking Persons Seriously connects philosophy and bioethics—it’s a bit more technical discussion so hang in there with us and the dots will connect and the light will come on as we go along. It’s a book that Scott and Dr. Mihretu Guta edited together. Dr. Guta will be with us on this episode.

Dr. Mihretu Guta is adjunct professor of philosophy in the Philosophy and Apologetics programs at Talbot. He is the author of several high level philosophical books and numerous journal articles.
