A thoughtful editorial by a law professor on the impact that new technologies (particularly new reproductive technologies) are having and will continue to have in the future. Raises a lot of questions that need answering.
Also mentions a TV show (Century City) that it sounds like I’m going to have to check out.
Favorite quote from the editorial:
I asked my law students whether a person with plant or animal genes would still be protected by the US Constitution. One replied, “If it walks like a man, quacks like a man, and photosynthesizes like a man, it is a man.”

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

CBS aired four or five episodes of Century City earlier this year before cancelling it.
