Lots of links and articles that I've been stockpiling. Yuval Levin is an author and thinker on matters bio-ethical, philosophical and scientifical, and contributes to the National Review Online blog. This post, "Brave New Britain," is a real-world example of the stuff a lot of people have worried about in the science fiction realm for a while, and now are being faced with it in real life. This is really a problem and it's not going to go away anytime soon. It scares me.
Then on the other side, instead of getting rid of children we have people misusing technology to have too many artificially-inseminated children...I'm not sure if banning IVF is what I would recommend at this point, but the more I think about it the more I wonder if there's any other policy suggestion out there that makes sense.
Also, most of you have seen this ad that got cut by NBC from this Super Bowl broadcast, but if you haven't, I recommend it.
In the midst of the stimulus debate, here's a WSJ article I came across that kind of explained to me what I'm doing with my health care work with Heritage. In the business realm, I don't feel sorry for them at all. At all.
Finally, it's not often one comes out in favor of discrimination, Patrick Deneen, a professor at Georgetown who spoke at the forum I attended, wrote a fairly eloquent defense of Catholic univerisities such as ND (even though I think it's a little bit of a stretch to still call G-town a truly Catholic school) giving special weight to Catholic applicants for professorial spots.
All right, I'm done. Enjoy the game, ads, and halftime shows, everybody.
