Bio:
In October 2009 I began researching and writing my PhD dissertation at the University of Cambridge after being awarded a Wellcome Trust Studentship in Bioethics. My work focuses on problems in the ethics of reproduction. More specifically, I am looking at the ethics of informing children that they were conceived using donated genetic tissue (embryos or gametes). In my spare time, I have continued other research in the area of environmental ethics.
