Our next interview: A preview

Coming soon: Our next interviewee, rising bioethics star and heroic whistleblower Matt Lamkin, who recently sent this brave fan letter:

Dear Mr. Ethicator,

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to interview yourself? Or maybe a miniature version of yourself? Someone who wanted to grow up to be just like you? It would be like if Narcissus finally got to make out with that dude he saw in the water, except instead of making out he just interviewed him by email.

If that sounds like the kind of non-sexual straight-guy talk you'd be into, look no further. Because I am your Mini Me.

I'm a former student and victim of Carl's. Before I was touched by the Ethicator, I spent most of my time just sitting around, rueing the day I'd met Dr. Blowhard Piouspants. But when you became a viral internet sensation, I saw that I could channel all my hurt and anger into launching a great career, just like you and Hilary Clinton.

I know you're reserving your interviews for very important people, and I commend you for that. And who could be more important, other than the Ethicator, than the Ethicator's biggest fan? Plus I've got a blog and everything.

It would be a huge honor to be interviewed by my idol and featured on the website he made for free for his cheapskate plagiarizing brother. I couldn't pay you right away, but if the interview lands me any corporate sponsorships I would totally deal you in.

If you're interested, please feel free to drop me a line whenever you feel like taking a break from ethicating.

Truly yours,

Matt
