Book Club - Should We Go Extinct?

The Ethics Center is hosting a book club on Should We Go Extinct? A Philosophical Dilemma for Our Times by Todd May. The author, philosophical advisor to TV’s The Good Place, presents the title question not as a mere rhetorical provocation, but as an open dilemma, inviting readers to weigh both sides of the ledger and reconsider their moral presumptions. Some of the key ethical themes and tensions explored include the suffering human beings cause and the value of human culture. 

Led by Blake Hereth, Assistant Professor of Medical Ethics, Humanities, & Law at the Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine. Virtual meetings will be at 10 a.m. Fridays Feb. 13, Feb. 20, Feb. 27 and March 6 on Teams. Participants will receive the meeting link after they register. The first 10 sign-ups receive a free book.
