Episode 5 – Is it Morally Permissible for Parents to Lie to their Children about Donor Gametes? Interview with Sonya Charles, Associate Professor, Department of Philosophy faculty, Cleveland State University.

In this episode, Dr. Toni Nicoletti interviews Dr. Sonya Charles about a chapter in her new book, Parents and Virtues: An Analysis of Moral Development and Parental Virtue (published 2019 by Lexington Books). We discuss her use of virtue theory in the context of parenting, and in particular, her argument that virtuous parenting prohibits lying to children about the use of donor eggs and sperm.
