The past few decades have seen an explosion of technologies that make reproduction possible for people — same-sex couples, couples struggling with infertility — that, in the past, would have gone childless. But have developments like IVF, which allows for surrogacy and embryo selection, created ethical dilemmas that our current laws are unable to deal with? Authors Tom Ekman and Mary Ann Mason say yes, and in their new book, “Babies of Technology: Assisted Reproduction and the Rights of the Child”, they argue that it’s time to update laws to curtail some of the potentially devastating impacts on the children created by these technologies.

  • Colorado lawmakers will drop plans to remake RTD’s board — for now — after facing blowback
    Denver Post, Wednesday - 04/17/2024 - 08:45 PM

    Colorado lawmakers are abandoning plans to overhaul the Regional Transportation District’s governing board and change how its members are selected after transit officials blasted the plan. Reps. William Lindstedt and Meg Froelich said Wednesday that they are still set to pursue other RTD reforms through House Bill 1447. But they said they plan to drop the bill’s most contentious provision: a plan to eventually cut the board’s size down from 15 elected, voting members to seven voting members — with five elected and two appointed by the governor. Froelich and Lindstedt told fellow legislators they wanted to further discuss board reform over the coming months. “We ultimately feel that those sections of the bill should come out, and we will want a longer process,” said Froelich, an Englewood Democrat.
