I’m a trained writer and marketing/operations specialist with a background in library science. I’ve primarily worked with financial advisors and in financial services, but post-pandemic and post-Thomas Fire my perspective has grown and my self-awareness has deepened. I’m (late-diagnosed) neurodivergent. I’m intellectually curious, and constantly evolving.

Hello! Just an aside from an EA newbie: there’s a missing word in the following sentence.
To transform the question about the murder-happy transplant surgeon to a question of person-affecting or non-person-affecting population ethics, we can ask about an expectant first-time mother planning to have a family of five children, who tragically discovers, at the very earliest stage of pregnancy, that the blastocyst^[5] which could become a child will have a debilitating physical ailment^[6].
Insert “who” between “child” and “will.” Thanks! I’ll keep reading & learning quietly now.
