432: Sex Robots & Vegan Meat with Jenny Kleeman

Sex Robots & Vegan Meat
Jenny Kleeman
--------------
Disruptive technology has defined our generation and captured our collection imagination. I haven't owned a television or a landline phone since the 90s. Google Maps has made it possible to navigate any city as a tourist with more accuracy than a local resident, and healthy food is becoming cheaper and more widely acceptable every day.

But there are downsides to disruption too - lots of downsides.

In the next decade, technology won't just disrupt industries, it will disrupt the moral fabric of society. How do we navigate the complexity of artificial wombs, lab-grown meat, sex robots, and euthanasia? Do you have a firm moral stance on any of these issues? I don't, and I'm not sure how to resolve these open loops.

On this week's show, you'll meet journalist and author, Jenny Kleeman who shares her deep-dive research into morally disruptive technologies.

Listen & Learn:

  • The reality of sex robots and the real risks vs. rewards in the future
  • How lab-grown meat could replace our dependence on factory farms
  • Where to draw moral lines in the sand when it comes to artificial wombs, designer babies, and medically-assisted death
