[Hi!]

I’m Laure Hoenen, host of What The Future Holds.
As a Sci-Fi enthusiast with a degree in bioethics, I created in 2018 a seminar called “Aliens Among Us” that I have been teaching at the Yale Bioethics Center Summer Institute ever since. The podcast derives from that seminar and will be an opportunity to address broader topics.

[Welcome]

What The Future Holds is a podcast exploring ethical issues through the lens of science-fiction.
Each episode will be dedicated to a specific issue, presenting what is at stake, where the science is at, and how the technology involved is currently regulated.
Turning to science-fiction novels, TV-shows, and movies allows us to think about the future implications of those ethical challenges without the constrains of today’s reality.

“The purpose of a thought-experiment, as term was used by Schrödinger and other physicists, is not to predict the future [...] but to describe reality, the present world.
Science fiction is not predictive ; it is descriptive”
– “Introduction”, The Left Hand of Darkness, Ursula K. Le Guin (1987)
