Episode 182: Prof. Matthew Liao

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD
Podcast. Prof. Matthew Liao holds the Arthur Zitrin Chair of
Bioethics as well as the Directorship for the Center for
Bioethics at New York University.


He was Deputy Director and James Martin Senior Research Fellow in
the Program on the Ethics of the New Biosciences in the Faculty
of Philosophy at Oxford University. He was the Harold T. Shapiro
Research Fellow in the University Center for Human Values at
Princeton University in 2003–2004, and a Greenwall Research
Fellow at Johns Hopkins University and a Visiting Researcher at
the Kennedy Institute of Ethics at Georgetown University from
2004–2006.


In May 2007, he founded Ethics Etc, a group blog for discussing
contemporary philosophical issues in ethics and related areas. He
is interested in a wide range of issues including ethics,
epistemology, metaphysics, moral psychology, and bioethics.


In this discussion, Tro and Matthew talk about the diverse human
activities which negatively impact the environment, whether or
not the raising and consumption of livestock is one of those
activities, which human behaviors contribute the most to
human-caused damage to the environment, and the ethics of human
engineering as a solution to environmental damage.
