Episode 21-Alexis Carrel on Remaking Oneself

Alexis Carrel: Doctor, inventor, and Nobel Laureate. He was the originator of multiple medical technologies still in use today. So far-reaching are they that you may actually be or know someone who has benefited from them directly!

But, as with each of us, he was not without his imperfections. He advocated for a number of theories and ideas that, today, we would find abhorrent, including forced sterilization and eugenics. Does that invalidate his medical contributions? Does that mean he was incapable of penning memorable words? Find out as I explore both sides of this coin and Carrel’s words in this episode.
