Liberalism has much to offer, but there are risks in embracing it as an overarching political philosophy without a degree of humility about its shortcomings.
This queasiness about morality means liberals sometimes look the other way when others smuggle in controversial ethical assumptions under the guise of choice and autonomy.
I explore what unfolds when complex issues of bioethics, bodily autonomy and life and death collide with the political system.
The dominant framework for understanding these issues on the left is liberalism. We shouldn't restrict people's choices, including asking a woman to carry a baby for you.
