Prenatal Down's Syndrome tests, for instance, are now so widespread that in some Scandinavian countries almost 100 per cent of women choose to abort a foetus diagnosed with the condition, or – if using IVF – not implant the affected embryo. The result is a visible change to these populations: there are simply no more people with Down's to be seen on the streets of Iceland and Denmark.New technology is now available – at a high price – for those who want to go further. So-called polygenic embryo screening can give a very full picture of the adult that the embryo could become, including his or her vulnerability to an enormous number of diseases – heart disease, diabetes, cancer – and also the physical and psychological traits that he or she would likely possess: height, hair colour, athletic ability, conscientiousness, altruism, intelligence. Is this a good thing? Should we welcome a world in which parents are routinely selecting their embryos in this way? I'm joined today by two guests who take a very different view. Emma Waters is a policy analyst at the Center for Technology and the Human Person at the Heritage Foundation. Her work focuses on family, biotechnology, and reproductive medicine.Jonathan Anomaly is a philosopher, author of the book 'Creating Future People: The Science and Ethics of Genetic Enhancement', and is also the director of scientific research and communication for Herasight, a genetics startup that offers polygenic embryo screening.

American Wombs for Sale: The Rise of Chinese Birth Tourism  Is American citizenship quietly becoming a commodity—and who's cashing in?     From luxury maternity homes to international surrogacy contracts, Dr. Phil explores the growing industries helping foreign nationals—especially from China—secure U.S. citizenship for their children. Criminal defense attorney John McNicholas shares the details of a high-profile federal case involving a birth tourism ring that made millions.

It would have felt hypocritical to not speak up, Payton McNabb said, remembering how nervous she felt to confront the man standing in the women's bathroom on her college campus.  For months, McNabb had been advocating for the protection of women's sports and encouraging other women to do the same. She knew the price of surrendering female only spaces to men after a man spiked a kill shot into her face during a volleyball game when she was just 17 and a senior in high school. The incident left her with a serious concussion, permanently ending her dreams of playing collegiate sports.  So, when McNabb encountered a man in her college bathroom in the spring of 2024, she pulled out her phone, hit record, and ask him what he was doing in the ladies bathroom. McNabb shared the video on social media, and it quickly gained the attention of a wide audience, including her sorority, Delta Zeta.  After meeting with Delta Zeta leadership, McNabb was told she violated the sorority's “anti-bullying policy,” and was kicked out of the sorority.  Furthermore, the man McNabb confronted filed a Title IX complaint against her at her college and she spent months fighting back against that complaint, but ultimately prevailed and was cleared of all charges.  McNabb, who is barely 20, has already learned there can be a high cost to truth.  McNabb, an ambassador of Independent Women's Forum, joins “Problematic Women” to share her story in her own words. McNabb discusses the challenge of forgiving the man who injured her on the volleyball court, the pain of losing her Delta Zeta community, and what is next as she continues to advocate for the protection of women's sports and spaces.  Also on today's show, Emma Waters, Heritage Foundation Tech Policy Center policy analyst, shares a recent social media post from Elon Musk's son, who now identifies as a woman, claiming that his “assigned sex at birth was a commodity” since he was conceived through in vitro fertilization. Waters discusses the moral questions IVF raises, and how the process stands to negatively affect society at large.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In vitro fertilization (IVF) has presented a moral dilemma as its processes discard embryos as a matter of course, ending more lives than even abortion. Emma Waters, Natalie Dodson, and Inez Stepman join host Ryan Williams to discuss this and other concerns surrounding IVF: genetic selection, the creation of human life for profit, the potential use of AI in dictating which embryos live, and more. They also raise solutions state legislatures may consider in the process; possible consequences; and the looming, necessary conversation of bioethics and parenthood in America.

"Reducing babies to one among various competing goods—a child, a yacht or a house—reinforces our society's disinclination to value them as ends," writes Emma Waters in her new article called "Pro-Natalism is Not Enough" on the First Things website.

Promoting marriage, which is consistently the best predictor of birthrates, is the surest long-term strategy to reverse declining fertility."

In this week's episode of Parsing Immigration Policy, Emma Waters, a Senior Research Associate at the Heritage Foundation, joins Mark Krikorian, the Center's Executive Director, to discuss the recent development of international commercial surrogacy, which creates tremendous potential for immigration fraud and exploitation and poses a national security risk.International commercial surrogacy refers to the process by which foreign nationals contract with surrogates in the United States to have a child on their behalf. While this child is subsequently raised in a foreign country, the child is granted U.S. citizenship by virtue of their birth here, making it easier for the parents of this child to eventually obtain U.S. citizenship. This system is unique to the United States, as other Western countries either ban international surrogacy or do not have birthright citizenship.Waters states that international commercial surrogacy is a “situation of immigration fraud as well as a national security risk.” The most common demographic of foreign nationals who come to the U.S. for surrogacy are Chinese men, and thus this form of birth tourism allows children who are raised in China and shaped by CCP influence to obtain U.S. citizenship, posing a threat to U.S. national security.To prevent this form of birth tourism, Waters emphasizes that U.S. immigration laws need to be updated to reflect technological advancements in surrogacy, childbirth, etc. She points to recent examples of nations, such as Nepal and India, which have successfully restricted commercial surrogacy. She also highlights the importance of publishing information surrounding international commercial surrogacy, such as state records regarding the number of surrogacy contracts in each state and the country of origin of the contracting parents.Waters and Krikorian agree that once information regarding the abuses in the international commercial surrogacy industry becomes available, it will be possible for Congress and state governments to take action against this particularly troublesome form of birth tourism.Highlights:The U.S. has no federal laws governing international commercial surrogacy, making it extremely difficult to identify the children and parents involved in this industry.The majority of fertility clinics are in California, and these surrogacy agencies often have deep connections in China.The Heritage Foundation has recently filed Freedom of Information Act requests seeking data regarding the countries of origin of contracting parents as well as the number of surrogacy contracts in states such as California.Addressing the problem of international commercial surrogacy ultimately requires “[preventing] foreign nationals from accessing commercial surrogacy in the United States,” but this would require states to forego the financial interest they have in continuing this lucrative industry.Recently, some Republican lawmakers have expressed interest in addressing the abuses of this troublesome form of birth tourism through legislation, focusing on how commercial surrogacy harms American surrogate mothers and places the interests of foreign countries above the interests of American citizens.HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestEmma Waters is a Senior Research Associate at the Heritage Foundation.RelatedThe New Face of Birth Tourism: Chinese Nationals, American Surrogates, and Birthright CitizenshipThe Rise and Fall of International AdoptionAmerica's Rent-A-Womb Industry Lures An Alarming Number Of Chinese NationalsBirth Tourism: Facts and RecommendationsIntro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.
