Bioethics and Human Flourishing: Professor Joel Reynolds in Conversation
Professor Joel Michael Reynolds joins Bioethics Chats to explore foundational questions at the intersection of disability, dignity, and justice. Drawing on philosophical and ethical frameworks, Reynolds discusses how conceptions of human flourishing should inform bioethical discourse, especially in contexts of care, disability rights, and social inclusion. His reflections challenge narrowly medicalized views of disability and call for a richer understanding that centers human experience, agency, and social belonging. This conversation contributes to ongoing efforts in medical humanities to integrate ethical theory with real-world questions of health, identity, and social justice.
