McGovern Center 20th Anniversary Event

The Occasional Human Sacrifice, with Guest Speaker Carl Elliott

Thursday, November 21, 2024 | 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM

Join us for a discussion with philosopher and physician, Carl Elliott, about his new book. The Occasional Human Sacrifice: Medical Experimentation and the Price of Saying No is an intellectual inquiry into the moral struggle that whistleblowers face, and why it is not the kind of struggle that most people imagine.

Carl Elliott grew up in Clover, South Carolina, where his father was a family doctor and his mother was a librarian. He attended Davidson College, the Medical University of South Carolina, and Glasgow University in Scotland, training first in medicine and then in philosophy.
