More Moore
We're reading Moore v. Regents, 51 Cal. 3d 120 (1990) in Property. The opinion, the concurrences, and the dissents all infuriate me. Recognizing a right of property in one's tissues does not create a market. In fact, in this case, the market already existed without the recognized right. And allowing someone to sell their tissues to the highest bidder cannot possibly be a greater debasement than forcing someone (I consider the "life saving procedure" or "no life saving procedure" choice to have some force behind it) to give away their valuable tissues for free so that someone else can sell them to the highest bidder. Our communist of an instructor better get this one right. I digress.
With the recent Roe anniversary, abortion is in the air. As reported in the Denver Post, a hospital has been giving the crematory remains of aborted fetuses to a Catholic Church which then buries them with full services. Abortion rights group are all enraged. This is just more Moore. Where were they the first time around?

Ooh! Ooh!
Maybe we could not use any math at all when we discuss it.
"Unsavory types may corner the market in organs."
How exactly would one corner an organ market?
Not even considering that point... I hereby decree that the Fletcher School of Law (founded 2042) will require a minimum background of economics, and no squirreling by with a "macro policy" class. No. If you haven't done multivariable calculus (needed to maximize profits), you're not getting in.
Back to surfing the internet and grumbling like a curmudgeon.
