On Shifting Ground with Ray Suarez
2:00 am – 3:00 amOn Shifting Ground with Ray Suarez

A Woman’s Seat at the Table

So far, the world has failed to keep up with the U.N. development goals for gender equality, and the clock is ticking. Can increased financial inclusion and political participation for women help bridge the gap? Mary Ellen Iskenderian, president and CEO of Women’s World Banking, believes our traditional financial system fails women. She speaks with host Ray Suarez about how tech can help level the playing field. Then, the show revisits a past conversation with exiled Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, who made the case for democracy in her home country. While much of the world grapples with war fatigue, Tsikhanouskaya warns of the risks of complacency in the face of authoritarianism. see more

In just 20 years, most people in developed countries won't have sex to procreate. That's what Stanford law professor and bioethicist Hank Greely predicts: a future where skin cells can be used to make an embryo and parents would prefer a baby made in a laboratory rather than the bedroom. In his book, “The End of Sex and the Future of Human Reproduction,” Greely considers the ethical and legal questions that arise in this new reproductive future.
