SOPHIA offers this One-Sheet document for groups to use to make a fun, meaningful conversation easy to hold on the subject of Episode 2 of Philosophy Bakes Bread, which concerned “The Ethics of Dentistry” with Dr. Bill Myers. Naturally, some of the issues raised in this one-sheet overlap topics of interest in medical ethics, but also concern ways in which people think differently about dental insurance and care versus general medical insurance and care.
This document was created by James William Lincoln, SOPHIA’s Secretary and a member of the Lexington SOPHIA Chapter, and edited by Erik Jarvis, Derek Daskalakes, Lila Wakeman, and Eric Thomas Weber of the Lexington SOPHIA Chapter.
Dr. Bill Myers is professor of philosophy at Birmingham Southern College, Treasurer of the Society for the Advancement of American Philosophy, and editor of Philosophers of Process. He teaches the ethics of dentistry in the University of Alabama-Birmingham’s School of Dentistry.
