Philosophy faculty argues against criticisms of procreation

Dr. Scott Hill, assistant teaching professor in the Department of Philosophy of Fairmount College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, recently published a critique of common objections to the act of procreation. The paper, titled “Against Adoption-Based Objections to Procreation,” looks at adoption- and climate change-based arguments against procreation and the pitfalls of such arguments.

The paper was published in Pacific Philosophical Quarterly. Dr. Hill joined Wichita State’s philosophy faculty this fall, and his research primarily focuses on ethics and religion.
