Sarah Johnson is leading a class on ethical issues regarding animals this

quarter at Stanford University, and there are two lectures next week that should

be particularly interesting.

 

On Monday May 11, Professor Paul Ehrlich (famous author of The Population Bomb,

and currently the president of the Center for Conservation Biology at Stanford)

will be speaking about the evolution of human dominance over animals and the

environment, and what we ought to do now. This lecture will be in Building 110,

room 111A, from 2:15-3:15 PM (possibly a bit longer).

 

On Tuesday May 12, from 3:15-4:45 PM, Professor Stephen Felt (Assistant

Professor of Comparative Medicine at the Stanford University Medical Center)

will be lecturing on pain in animals (which species can feel pain, and clinical

and behavioral signs of pain in different species). This lecture might be of

particular interest to those who are decided in their thoughts about the ethics

of eating pork, for example, but are unsure about what to think of animals whose

capacity to feel pain is less obvious (silkworms, for example). This lecture

will be in the building named “Green Earth Sciencesâ€, Room 134.

 

Feel free to come to either or both of these lectures, and invite your friends

as well!
