...that the biggest debates on bioethics tend to be triggered by oddballs? In early 1998, eccentric physicist Richard Seed ignited a furor when he vowed to clone a human being. (He hasn't been heard from since.) Now comes Ron Harris--fashion photographer, soft-core-porn videographer and the entrepreneurial mind behind such Web ventures as Eros Entertainment Inc.

Eggs harvested from models for in-vitro fertilization. The auction could be a fraud, but if people want models, they should get the best. We asked fertility clinics what characteristics clients look for in donors and rated models to see whose eggs would be best...
