Acknowledgements
The opportunity to present these conversations in a single publication would not have been possible without the generous and patient support of Piero Bassetti, whose insightful suggestions, helpful introductions, and first articulation of the questions posed here have guided this project from the beginning. Special thanks are also due to everyone who sat still for an interview – Thomas Murray, Ignacio Chapela, Arthur Caplan, David Magnus, Mildred Cho, Christine Peterson, Lawrence Gasman, Ronald Arkin, Jeff Jonas, Marc Smith, Mikko Ahonen, Roberto Verganti, and Michael Twidale. For moral, intellectual, and other support, I’m especially grateful to Cristina Grasseni, Ben Gross, Nina Davis, Peter Kaufman, Nalini Kotamraju, Ottavia Bassetti, Tommi Lampikoski, Elizabeth Churchill and Paulina Borsook.
