The show usually is recorded in a pub--that's why there is some background noise on occasion. The topics can vary widely seeing as the Pugsters have different spheres of knowledge and interest, but common themes which appear regularly include the transcendence of God and the meaningfulness of His creation.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-08T18:19:49.635117+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-theology-pugcast-696088"},"episode":{"title":"Bodyoids and Zombie Bioethics","slug":"bodyoids-and-zombie-bioethics","published_at":"2026-03-02T09:40:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-theology-pugcast-696088/bodyoids-and-zombie-bioethics","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-theology-pugcast-696088","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-theology-pugcast/episodes/Bodyoids-and-Zombie-Bioethics-e3fif1n","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/930b87c/podcast/play/115997175/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-1-24%2F418764753-44100-2-1bea4d1a66964.mp3","summary":"In this episode, the pugs discuss a recent article by Christian Bioethicist and Psychiatrist Aaron Kheriaty in First Things concerning disturbing trends in the field of medicine where the production of living human bodies without consciousness are developed for scientific experimenting and use, especially organ harvesting. Drawing on Kheriaty's insights (and work elsewhere), the pugs unpack the radical implications of new medicine as it moves away from Hippocratic commitments.
