Last year, Sara Dahlen won King’s Biotechnology & Society Essay Contest on the theme: "In the future there will be no humans as we know them. So what?”
Her essay, “Notes to No-One”, imagines a future after an ecological collapse where humanity has almost been destroyed by climate change, wildfires and endocrine disruptions.
In this episode, Sara Dahlen, a PhD candidate and Dr Silvia Camporesi, Reader in Bioethics and Health Humanities, discuss this imagined future, humanity’s relationship with nature and technology, and explore some of the bioethical questions facing us today.
