Secondhand Smokette and I are taking our younger Secondhand Niece to Italy for a two week sojourn and a badly needed rest. It will be a busy fall, with work progressing on my animal rights book, articles to write, and an active speaking schedule. Time to recharge the batteries, eat some pasta, drink some chianti, see some history, and enjoy life.
May you all have a wonderful end of summer and I look forward to our continuing exploration of the important issues of bioethics, euthanasia, assisted suicide, animal rights, scientism, and human exceptionalism. Thanks to all for your continued support of Secondhand Smoke.
I expect to be back posting around the 20th. Y’all come back now. Ciao!
