Tarris Rosell – Center for Practical Bioethics
Episode 17: Tarris Rosell is the Rosemary Flanigan Chair at the Center for Practical Bioethics and faculty at the Central Baptist Theological Seminary. With extensive experience providing bioethics education and consultation at Kansas City University and the University of Kansas Medical Center, Tarris provides some excellent perspectives on the things that must be considered when discussing immortality. In this episode, Tarris explains how we ought to try and provide the same quality of healthcare to everyone, no matter their personal decisions in life. He also shares why the rejection of life extension is not the same as refusing life by comparing it to cases where people have opted to reject certain technologies and therapies. Finally, Tarris also gives some thought as to what Protestant Christians might think of life extension.
