UK Weather knows how to seduce me.

I was supposed to leave earlier this afternoon, but the weather’s so nice, I had to stay.

The forecast for the rest of the week doesn’t look so bright, though, so I’m still leaving later tonight. I can’t keep up with your mood swings, UK Weather. I’m quitting you.

Out of the many “serene” moments experienced abroad, few compare to sitting in Piccadilly Circus on the night before my flight home to the US. I realized that this was the last thing I was doing in the UK after being in the country for several months. While sitting and staring at London’s world famous commercial district, I thought of all of the memories I had made there and how I felt as if I was leaving home rather than coming back. I decided that I had accomplished everything I set out to do and I had no regrets or “I wish I saw this town” moments. After reflecting on the past 5 months in England, I was perfectly content and happy with the experience.

The spot where I sat for nearly 3 hours and pondered my return home.

Free-Market Babies?

By Donna Dickenson

Posted on May 24, 2011

Does India need a new independence struggle? The fight this time would not be against British colonialism, but rather against the United Kingdom’s approach to regulating reproductive medicine. At a time when India is considering a sort of matchmaking service for Western couples seeking to hire Indian surrogate mothers, the UK government has announced the abolition of two leading medical regulatory agencies.

Meanwhile, as these countries move farther down the road to free markets in reproductive medicine, France is debating all of its bioethics laws — and continuing to stand up for a different model, focused on social justice and protection of vulnerable women. There is an alternative simply to letting the market decide, the French Assembly insists.

At some point, many countries are likely to find themselves embroiled in similar debates and controversies over reproductive rights and obligations. So it is necessary to clarify what is at stake in how we regulate — or de-regulate — in vitro fertilization (IVF), egg sales, and surrogacy.
