The latest episode of FAB Gab is out now! This time, Serene Ong of the National University of Singapore discusses definitions of the family, and how we need a broader account than just a biological model to capture the complexity of family life, even in the context of genetic testing and screening.

Here’s a sneak peak:

“Within the context of genetic information, who counts as family? So at first pass, the answer seems obvious, biologically related family members, right? However, from an ethical point of view, the answer becomes more nuanced. In this paper, I propose that we should take a pluralistic view of who counts as family.”
