Ross Douthat has a rattling interesting column inwards today's Times (online) noting the transformation inwards views peculiarly past times feminists amongst regard to the purpose of surrogates to comport children. Without expressing my ain reckon on the merits, I create uncovering it a wonderful representative of Bell's (and Deneen's) overall betoken that the mightiness of libertarian-capitalist ideology, fifty-fifty for people who undoubtedly position themselves every bit i the left, does indeed Pb to a lot that was formerly company melting into air. Not surprisingly, a position out of the hostile comments to Douthat's column denounced him for his failure to honour the capacity of women to brand autonomous choices on how to purpose their bodies, including, of course, inwards resultant renting them out to to a greater extent than affluent persons too couples. All nosotros convey to do, of course, is to define just what institute the weather for "autonomous choice," every bit Kanye West late reminded us (with stunning ineptitude). The i matter nosotros tin survive relatively sure enough virtually is that the judiciary volition render almost no help, since all American lawyers are socialized into a theory of contract that basically ignores, save, at most for a day, the problems of "duress" or "unconscionability" inwards favor of a model of arms-length bargaining too contractual freedom, every bit with, say, plea bargaining.
