I Loved Erica Jong's Books

. . . when I was a teenager. She's a good fiction writer. But she may not belong in the blogging world. You decide: here's a post she wrote in Huffington's blog regarding the preservation of embryos, and here's a response to that by Eugene Volokh, exposing the weaknesses in her argument.

1 I second Mr. Volokh and seem to see some illustrations in Aristotle's Logical Fallacies of Irrelevant Conclusion. Begging The Question: (Pre-supposes the conclusion) "The political question here is obvious." Ie. BUSH said it - it's wrong. (And I do think he's wrong on this.) Non-sequitur: Blastocytes are dying because BUSH won't adopt them. Fear: BUSH! Ad Hominum: BUSH! It is as if I were to argue the PETA plans an all-out campaign for the rights of bacteria and viruses. Oh, wait...
