About this Event

Host Organization: Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and University Advancement

Parts and Labour: Morality, the Market, and the Human Body

In this talk, Professor Vida Panitch will discuss the moral boundaries of a market economy. Why are some things wrong to buy and sell? Why should our market choices be restricted when it comes to selling things like citizenship, prizes, friendship, and particularly human body parts and intimate labours? Join us as we explore and evaluate a variety of philosophical arguments to see if they can justify regulations on the sale of organs, payment for sperm and eggs, commercial surrogacy, and prostitution.

Co-hosted by Carleton’s Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and the Department of University Advancement, as part of its CU in the City lecture series, this lecture is the third CU in the City event to be held in Toronto and the first to be held at the Gladstone Hotel's North Ballroom.

This is a free event open to all Carleton alumni, donors and friends.

Please join us for an open reception at 6:00 p.m. featuring hot and cold hors' d'oeuvres and cash bar. The presentation will begin at 7:00 p.m.
