If you value my work, I hope you will consider becoming a paid subscriber. I am committed to keeping dignity-centered bioethics research free and available to all. Paid subscribers help make that possible. In gratitude for your support, I share this column, Off the Record, a monthly audio essay—a little more personal, a little less polished, along with a handwritten “thank you” from me. Pretty good for $1/week. If you agree, I hope you’ll join me in choosing human.
