About the author
I am a Professor Emeritus at Philosophy at the University of San Diego, where I taught philosophy for several decades. My principal interest in the last ten years has been in ethics at the frontiers of science, including issues about search engines, stem cells and regenerative medicine, neuroscience (especially memory and compassion), and robotics. Both of my current books were written in conjunction with teaching courses at USD on these topics, and I am now working on a new book on ethics at the frontiers of science. In addition, I am currently working on two Amazon Singles, one on the movie "Gattaca" and the ethics of enhancement, the other on the movie "Dead Man Walking" and the ethics of the death penalty. Both of these come out of my teaching experience as well. Currently I am researching and writing in New York City.
In 1994, I started my first website--Ethics Updates, http://ethics.sandiego.edu--which is still going today. I am particularly interested in the possibilities offered by multimedia authoring, a medium pioneered in ethics by Robert Cavalier at CMU. I hope to do more int his medium.
