...would embark on a $1 billion renovation project of all 12 undergraduate Houses over the course of 10 to 15 years, starting as early as 2011. The estimated cost is vastly more than Harvard has ever spent on a single round of House restorations, and is equivalent to the amount the school plans to spend on the new science complex in Allston...

California Cryobank, a sperm repository in Cambridge, pays approximately $75 for each sperm donation by Harvard males who meet specific requirements. Governments decide which parts of our bodies are saleable, and they are in the business of drawing lines. Unfortunately, these lines are sketching quite a blurry picture of the control we possess over our own bodies. Americans can sell their eggs, sperm, blood, hair...
