Technically Human is a podcast about ethics and technology where I ask what it means to be human in the age of tech. Each week, I interview industry leaders, thinkers, writers, and technologists and I ask them about how they understand the relationship between humans and the technologies we create. We discuss how we can build a better vision for technology, one that represents the best of our human values.

In this episode, I speak with Professor Arthur L. Caplan, the Drs. William F and Virginia Connolly Mitty Professor at the NYU School of Medicine in New York City and the founding head of NYU’s Division of Medical Ethics.
We talk about brain death, moral worth, the ethics of the non-human, and the concept of the "self" as humans increasingly turn our bodies and biology over to technological interventions. Dr. Caplan discusses medical privacy as the right to know becomes increasingly in tension with the right to privacy, how the practice of medicine interacts with humanist practices, and what is keeping him up at night.
