Ian Huyett on Right to Try, Christian Techno Optimism, and Biotech Federalism

About this episode

Ian Huyett discusses the intersection of Christian theology and biotech innovation, focusing on the Right to Try framework in New Hampshire.

Ian Huyett is an attorney at Cornerstone in New Hampshire, where he leads litigation and policy work for a network of over one hundred churches. He helped design New Hampshire’s new Right to Try framework, which provides some of the strongest protections in the U.S. for patients seeking access to experimental treatments. Read the Essay: The Christian War on Death How Christianity reframed mortality and unleashed biotech acceleration. In this episode, Ian and Niklas explore the alignment between serious Christian theology and biotech acceleration. Ian makes the case for combating sickness, aging, and death, challenges ideas like “death gives life meaning” or “playing God,” and explains why Christians have long driven medical innovation. The discussion then shifts to law and strategy, including the New Hampshire Right to Try bill, the role of civil liability, and how states like New Hampshire, Montana, and Florida are opening real paths for experimental treatments.
