A Dehn surgery slope p/q is said to be characterizing for a knot K if the homeomorphism type of the p/q-Dehn surgery along K determines the knot up to isotopy. I discuss advances towards a conjecture of McCoy that states that for any knot, all but at most finitely many non-integral slopes are characterizing.
