Sean Philpott-Jones: A Delicate Balance

Long the subject of science fiction stories, fertility treatments and sex-selection have been in the headlines lately. Our commentator Dr. Sean Philpott-Jones of Union Graduate College calls it a delicate balance. 

A public health researcher and ethicist by training, Dr. Sean Philpott-Jones is Director of the Bioethics Program at Union Graduate College-Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in Schenectady, New York. He is also Director of Union Graduate College's Center for Bioethics and Clinical Leadership, and Project Director of its two NIH-funded research ethics training programs in Central and Eastern Europe and in the Caribbean Basin.

The views expressed by commentators are solely those of the authors. They do not necessarily reflect the views of this station or its management.
