Bad karma in the blogosphere this week. Tim Burke’s grandfather passed away (my condolences). Though Lileks is having fun romping through Disney Land, he still smarting from losing his job the week before. Jane Galt’s beloved dog dies, and some turd is rude about it.

Sam Crane asks what would Confusius say about accepting as much as $15,000 for egg donations? Sam writes, “a Confucian would accept egg donations and in vitro techniques only if they are done for reasons of Humanity.
