Do The Right Thing!
Must a couple trying to get pregnant using a donated egg tell their child—should they have one—of her true genetic provenance? Can a federal prosecutor use drugs if he prosecutes drug users? Is a vegetarian a hypocrite if she swims with captive dolphins? Let Randy Cohen (AKA "the Ethicist") decide for you. Also, the NYPD prepares for anarchists, St. Thomas the Apostle Church in Harlem, County Executive Andrew Spano on the AWOL (Alcohol Without Liquid) device, and Mike Pesca challenges you with the News Olympics.
