...overwhelming pirated-goods market in Shanghai; you need to be convinced that anything here is real.The first week you spend in this former marshland, which was transformed into a financial capital seemingly overnight, can only be described as a sustained shock. This has nothing to do with the pregnant mother trying to sell you Japanese bondage porn (illegal in China) or the two armless men who like to circle a block known for its expat bars.

McCain's position has the great virtue of simplicity: a unique set of chromosomes, having been assembled, has the potential to grow into a unique human being, assuming circumstances permit. As many as half of fertilized eggs naturally miscarry, usually before the prospective mother even knows she was pregnant. But there is a roiling debate over what factors might also affect implantation, with implications for everything from fertility treatment and contraception to criminal law and human rights. I wonder if McCain knows how deeply into troubled waters he has waded...
