About a month ago, I traveled to Seattle to give a speech at the Discovery Institute about my new book, A Rat is a Pig is a Dog is a Boy: The Human Cost of the Animal Rights Movement. The event was covered by C-Span and is now available for viewing by hitting this link.
This is the third time one of my appearances has been covered by C-Span. The first was a panel discussion about bioethics in 2001 at a UVA book festival. The second was a speech about my last book, Consumer’s Guide to a Brave New World.
It’s “interesting” to see how I have aged over the years. But let’s not get into that. Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

Still wondering how you propose we define what is a rat and a pig and a dog and a boy. Now that creatures are created in labs, and DNA can be mixed and modified and implanted in various gestational carriers, how do we determine what species a creature is? What is the point of human exceptionalism if there is no definition of human?
