Partly so, but why did they come up with 'sex change' and Deidre McCloskey
at the mention of reproductive technology? It seems to me that 'sex change'
(which has much to do with changes in gender + sexual identities and
changes nothing about reprductive capacity) + Deidre had little to do with
reproductive technology, be it micro or macro.
