Dr Smajdor is a lecturer in Ethics at the University of East Anglia. She has a long-standing interest in the ethical aspects of science, medicine and technology, stemming from her first degree in philosophy. She undertook her doctoral thesis at Imperial College, London, on the ethics of using artificial sperm and eggs in reproduction (sponsored by the Wellcome Trust). She has published a number of papers in connection with this research, as well as on broader philosophical and ethical questions. In 2007, Dr Smajdor published a book exploring legal and ethical controversies in reproductive technology and stem cell research ‘From IVF to Immortality’ (with Baroness Ruth Deech, former chair of the UK’s Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority).<\/p>\n

Dr Smajdor is ethics consultant for Norfolk and Norwich Health and Care Trust, and an Independent Assessor for the Human Tissue Authority. She is on the advisory committee of the charity Progress Educational Trust, whose remit is to facilitate debate on issues related to genetics and reproductive technology.
