Hastings Center Report
Hastings Conversations: Working with Erik Parens
Abstract: However helpful have been the papers, reports, and books Erik Parens has produced while at The Hastings Center, conversation with him has always been even better. In both his writing and conversation, he goes to core values. As Erik departs Hastings—retiring as of the end of June 2026 to commit himself more fully to teaching, his original professional love—the loss of these conversational interactions will be felt profoundly, not just at Hastings but in bioethics broadly.
