    Insurance Discrimination

    Send us Fan Mail In some insurance scheme, you might be required to pay more because you are more prone to disability. In another, you may have to pay more because you're a woman (and are statistically likely to live longer). But what if you had to pay more because you like suntanning? Or because you spend too much time sitting in an office chair everyday? Where should insurance providers draw the line when it comes to creating individual risk profiles? Together with Assoc. Prof. Harisan Unais Nasir, we discuss the ethical principles underlying differentiation and discrimination in insurance.  Remember people, be savvy!

    Genomic Newborn Screening: Where less really is sometimes more with Ainsley Newson

    Send us Fan Mail Did you know that genomic sequencing can now screen newborns for hundreds of rare conditions right at birth? That looking too closely at our DNA might actually cause more anxiety than answers? And is there such a thing as knowing too much about your health before you've even taken your first steps? Professor Ainsley Newson (University of Sydney) joins the podcast to discuss the complex ethics of genomic newborn screening programs. Ainsley shares some delightful anecdotes about her first impression of Sinead, and unpacks how looking at a baby's DNA differs from traditional biochemical tests, what it means to balance the "value of knowing" against screening-related harm, and why we need to prioritise solidarity over high-tech hype. Remember people, be savvy!

    The Hidden Side of Birth: Injury, Trauma, and PTSD with Angela Ballantyne

    Send us Fan Mail Did you know that over 80% of people who give birth experience an injury? That anywhere between 30 and 50% of people who give birth find it traumatic? And that up to 15% of people experience PTSD from giving birth?  Professor Angela Ballantyne (University of Otago) talks about what birth trauma means, who is at the highest risk for experiencing it, and why so few people talk about it despite how common it is (spoiler: it's only partially because blokes don't get it).  Remember people, be savvy!

    Brains in Jars with Insoo Hyun

    Send us Fan Mail Could a blob of cells in a petri dish one day think? Feel? Have rights? In this episode, Professor Insoo Hyun (Harvard Medical School, one of the world's leading experts on the ethics of stem cell and organoid research, joins Sinead and James to discuss what organoids are, why scientists are so excited about them, and why bioethicists are watching very closely. Insoo explains who has rights over donated cells that end up being brain models, whether organoids can have moral status, and what happens when an organoid has no donor at all — or many donors at once. Would you want a copy of your brain in a jar?  Remember people, be savvy!

    To smoke or to vape? With Johannes Kniess

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode, guest-host Kat Muyskens and Sinead chat with Dr. Johannes Kniess from Newcastle University (UK) about what governments are legitimately allowed to make us do, whether we like it or not. Using case studies of tobacco restrictions and vaping bans, Johannes discusses how governments must grapple with their duties to let us live our lives the way we see fit, but also their duties to protect us from harms such as poor health. When can governments override our life plans, and can Gen Z fight back?  Remember people, be savvy!

    Feminist Science: Wait what? with Deboleena Roy

    Send us Fan Mail Is feminist science more than just having more women in STEM? Is science itself capable of being a form of feminism? Have you ever wondered whether there's more to science than Nobel Prizes and almost magical discoveries? In this episode, Professor Deboleena Roy (Emory University), a neuroscientist and behavioural biologist, discusses what it means to do feminist science and be a feminist scientist. In so doing, Deboleena helps Sinead find meaning in the five laborous, monotonous weeks she spent in a lab in 2018, doing what amounted to what she thought was nothing.  Remember people, be savvy!

    Therabot versus a Tic Tac with Charlotte Blease

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of CBmE & U, Associate Professor Charlotte Blease (Uppsala University) talks about the placebo process for validating and testing mental health chatbots. With James and Sinead, Charlotte discusses whether, if we don't have the means to measure whether things like ChatGBT and theratbot are making us better or worse off, are justified in letting people use them? And importantly, when you get those pesky or uncomfortable messages from people, should you use openAI to write them? Or are we doing something wrong turning to AI instead of people?  Remember people, be savvy!
