Ethics Professors: Don't Be Evil

Google’s unofficial moral slogan is “Don’t be evil,” but some are questioning whether privacy and censorship concerns break that self-imposed creed.

In the first part of Wednesday's Up to Date, the Ethics Professors return to discuss slippery ethics surrounding Google’s well-meaning slogan, preemptive breast cancer surgery based on genetics and more.

Guests:

  • Wayne Vaught, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and director of the Center for Applied and Professional Ethics at the University of Missouri-Kansas City 
  • Clancy Martin, professor of philosophy at  the University of Missouri-Kansas City 
When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
