Ep. 81 – The Ethics of Eating Meat | Dr. Mike Huemer

If animals can suffer, does that make it immoral to eat meat?

I’m joined again by Dr. Mike Huemer to help me answer this question. He has recently released a series of four dialogues on the topic, which address many of the issues we talk about in this episode:

Dialogues on Ethical Vegetarianism, Part 1
Dialogues on Ethical Vegetarianism, Part 2
Dialogues on Ethical Vegetarianism, Part 3
Dialogues on Ethical Vegetarianism, Part 4

Also covered: free will, empathy, and whether the nutritional value of meat changes our ethical judgments.
