The good motive and the bad motive occasionally strive for identical outcome. The motive can be selected to fit the narrative

Reply to Educating Professionals: why we need to cultivate moral virtue in students by ADefiniteDescription

The STEM surge ended well before this article was written. Business, nursing, and soft non-STEM social sciences have been the hot pursuits for almost a half decade now. Incoming students have likely caught wind of these programs attrition—Half of those who who start with STEM end with non-STEM degrees. a STEM students don’t need more humanities, they actually need more STEM, likely the remedial kind. Why are the stem nerds being singled out as the herd that needs virtue education in the first place? Stem personalities and abilities trend towards just and high according to my stereotype. Is this because of Zuck? Probably. Of any major that could use ethics as behavior training, Id imagine any of grimey business school ones as being more appropriate, at least in this new neoliberal capitalism paradigm. A decade earlier virtue and profiteering were a dipole given.

Makes sense, after all It is not uncommon for the fertility-challenged to use their sibling’s gametes. With cold storage having a near infinite life span, parents can ultimately donate too.

I find it surprising that IVF and other fertility treatment procedures are excluded from the eugenics issue. In the US, two percent of children born are conceived using this method. A decade earlier, it was half that. The rate increase is sure to continue upward due to societal factors including advanced age, single parenting, and same sex couple parenting.
