ISGP Podcast: The Moral Instruments

Presenters:

Hosts:

Food supply ethics – that is a real moral dilemma.  As a global population swells in the direction of 9 billion, food security is at stake. But whose food and environmental needs should be prioritized — those of today’s humans or those of future generations? And where do animals fit into this complicated picture?

Debaters sorted through the decidedly mixed pros and cons of such a system in the debate of the paper Technological Safeguards for the U.S. Food Supply: Moral and Ethical Dilemmas by Dr. H. Morgan Scott, Professor of Veterinary Pathobiology, Texas A&M University.

Dr. Scott presented his paper at the ISGP conference, Safeguarding the American Food Supply,  convened April 11–12, 2015, by the ISGP in partnership with Ursinus College in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, U.S., with financial support from Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Society.
