    Abstract

    Participants in the long-running bioethical debate over human germline genetic modification (HGGM) tend to imagine future people abstractly and on the basis of conventionalized characteristics familiar from science fiction, such as intelligence, disease resistance and height. In order to distinguish these from scientifically meaningful terms like “phenotype” and “trait,” this article proposes the term “persemes” to describe the units of difference for hypothetical people. In the HGGM debate, persemes are frequently conceptualized as similar, modular entities, like building blocks to be assembled into genetically modified people. They are discussed as though they each would be chosen individually without affecting other persemes and as though they existed as components within future people rather than being imposed through social context. This modular conceptual framework appears to influence bioethical approaches to HGGM by reinforcing the idea of human capacities as natur

    On the Mic with Mike #7: Battling health bunk with Professor Timothy Caulfield

    Dr. Mike Strong: So when you say ‘misinformation’, what is it that you mean?

    Prof. Caulfield: That's a great question. Now, I use misinformation as the umbrella term to really capture all of the inaccurate information that's being disseminated—mostly on social media, but not just social media.

    But you can break it down, right? You can break it down.

    There's disinformation—and disinformation is often categorized as that inaccurate information that is being spread with intention. There are individuals or entities that have a particular agenda and they're spreading the misinformation in order to forward that agenda.

    Then there may be individuals that are just trying to do what's best for themselves, trying to do what's best for their family. They're curious and they're spreading inaccurate information on social media. And in fact, that's probably the biggest source of misinformation.
