31: "Biological Individuality and the Foetus Problem", Will Morgan (deep dive featuring the author!)

from Condensed Matter · host Sam Kimpton-Nye

In this episode, I talk to my Bristol MetaScience colleague, Dr Will Morgan, about his recently published paper in which he argues that if we accept the physiological approach to biological individuality, it seems that a foetus never becomes the organism that is present after birth. This then raises the difficult question: what happens to the foetus? We also touch on the relevance of metaphysics to biology and to ethics.
