This week, my guest is Associate Research Professor and Director of Education Initiatives at the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics and author of Toward a Small Family Ethic and Catastrophe Ethics, Dr Travis Rieder.
We explore the complex moral questions surrounding procreation, family sizes and climate change.
We discuss:
- Global temperature projections and what they mean for children born today
- The ethics of family size in a world facing climate crisis
- The impact of the environment on children being born now –and in turn, their impact on the world.
- The concept of carbon legacy
- Where responsibility lies when it comes to overpopulation
- Perspectives on childfree living!
Travis challenges traditional narratives around procreation and offers thought-provoking insights into how we can align our personal choices with the urgent need for climate action and talks of his own decision to have a small family.
Enjoy! xx
