"At this very moment, people are putting out a digital bucket and asking for donations for everything from legal bills to fertility treatments to moving costs to cancer care. You can crowdfund anything from a theater project, a friend's medical bills or even to get your favorite band back together.
The world of crowdfunding is different than other kinds of fundraising. Who decides what causes are "just?" What are the ethical implications of giving money to fund a friend's fertility treatments? I asked Dr. Elizabeth Yuko, a bioethicist and writer to tell me all about it."
