There’s a special place in hell for the baby brokers and everyone involved in the surrogacy industry, especially the five men who have drawn up the Law Commission Consultation.
502 pages, 118 questions, not a single question relating to egg ‘donors’ and no concern at all for the maternal welfare of the surrogate. Unless you count contemplating the compensation intended parents should pay to her family if she dies.

"“I never said that *I* am happy that Magdalen is dying of brain cancer. I merely said that I think such an attitude is ethically justified when the person dying has engaged in extreme harassment of a marginalized group ...,” McKinnon tweeted.

McKinnon has also tweeted that her comments about being happy when bad people die is a common ethical question. " https://www.postandcourier.com/news/the-tweet-heard-round-the-world-charleston-professor-sparks-global/article_4a462cda-c9c7-11e9-8134-d32dc721835d.html

Maria Steen on liberal intolerance

Maria Steen had a column in The Irish Times on Saturday which caused a big online response. The topic of her article is crucial; are liberals as liberal and tolerant as they purport to be? Increasingly, many liberals seek to shut down debate on substantive issues. Instead debates (such as they are) are intra-liberal ones, […] https://ionainstitute.ie/maria-steen-on-liberal-intolerance/
