Fear and Loathing in Beverly Hills

Liza Mundy, a staff writer for the Washington Post, writes about America's obsession with infertility in a sharp and incisive critique of NBC's latest medical show -- a fertility clinic soap opera called "All Too Conceivable". Watching the show with a combination of what she describes as "revulsion and fascination", Mundy points out that in the United States, "we do not have much in the way of public discussions of reproductive technology, in part because we do not seriously regulate it." Which brings up a good question: in order to have serious public discussions, do we have regulate something? What do you think? Comments welcome...
