Bio
Stella is a PhD student in Health Science, Technology and Management, specializing in Bioethics. She earned a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy from Vita-Salute San Raffaele University in Milan, and later obtained a Master's degree in Philosophy of the Contemporary World from the same institution. Concurrently with her Master's degree, she also earned a double degree in Anthropology and Philosophy of the Person from the Institut Catholique de Toulouse.
Research
Her research interests encompass Bioethics, Moral Philosophy, Philosophy of Biology, and Metaphysics. Specifically, Stella investigates the impact of medical technology on defining the life and death of human beings, exploring the ethical consequences in terms of moral rights. She is also interested in the ethics of artificial organs and in the ontological differences between human beings and robots.
During her undergraduate experience, Stella worked on the case of Jahi McMath, proposing an ethical reassessment of the current criterion for brain death based on the studies of Alan Shewmon. In her Master's thesis, she offered an ethical reflection on the case of vaccine hesitancy in the context of SARS-CoV-2, delving into the philosophy of Peter Singer.
