Jacob M. Appel (born February 21, 1973) is an American author, bioethicist and social critic. He is best known for his short stories, his work as a playwright, and his writing in the fields of reproductive ethics, organ donation, neuroethics and euthanasia.

Biography

Appel was born in the Bronx and grew up in Scarsdale, New York.[1]

Writer

Over one hundred of Appel's short stories have been published in numerous literary journals, including Agni,[2] The Gettysburg Review,[3] and StorySouth.[4]

The Boston Review named his short story, "Shell Game with Organs" the winner of its 1998 short fiction contest. He has won three New Millennium Writings first prizes in fiction (in 2004, 2007, 2008) for his short stories "Enoch Arden's One Night Stands,"[5] "Hazardous Cargoes,"[6] and "The Appraisal" (shared with Asha Vose).[7] He won the William Faulkner-William Wisdom Award for best short story in 2004[8] and a Sherwood Anderson Foundation grant in 2005.[9]

His plays have been performed by companies across the U.S., including the Detroit Repertory Theatre, Heller Theatre, and Epilogue Players.[10][11]

Appel has taught creative writing at the Gotham Writers' Workshop and New York University.[12]

Bioethicist

Academic bioethics

As a professional bioethicist, Appel has published in Hastings Center Report,[13][14][15] The Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics,[16] The Journal of Medical Ethics,[17][18][19][20] Bulletin of the History of Medicine,[21][22] The Joural of Law, Medicine and Ethics,[23][24] The Journal of Bioethical Inquiry[25] and GeneWatch, the journal of the Council for Responsible Genetics.[26]

Appel has argued in favor of abortion rights, assisted suicide (not only for the terminally ill, but also for those suffering from long-term mental illness), and fertility treatment for homosexuals.[27][28] He has also argued against electronic medical records.[29] He has raised concerns regarding the possibility that employers will require their employees to use pharmaceuticals for cognitive enhancement and has urged that death row inmates be eligible to receive kidney transplants.[30][31] He generated considerable controversy for endorsing the mandatory use of preimplantation genetic diagnosis as part of the in vitro fertilization process to prevent the implantation of embryos carrying severe genetic defects.[32][33] Appel has also written in support of an "open border" immigration policy.[34]

Commentary

Appel writes for both The Huffington Post and Opposing Views. He has staked out a libertarian position of many bioethical issues, advocating a worldview that he describes as "a culture of liberty."[35] He has also authored opinion pieces in The New York Times, New York Daily News, Chicago Tribune, Orlando Sentinel, Albany Times-Union, Tucson Citizen, Detroit Free Press, New Haven Register and The Providence Journal.[36][37][38][39][40]
