Carmel Shalev is an Israeli bioethicist and writer. Her work
spans the big themes of life: Having been the first academic
researching and writing about surrogacy, she influenced the
introduction of surrogacy in Israel. Her most recent book, "In
Praise of Ageing", combines reflections on growing older in a
society that has particular "scripts" for ageing women with
ancient Buddhist wisdom. In this podcast episode, Carmel Shalev
tells the story of what made her a feminist, how her years
studying law in Yale shaped her, and what it is like growing
older in a radically changing Israeli society.
