Dog Talk ® (and Kitties Too!)Would Licensing Breeders Reduce Bad Breeding?#911B: Lisa Milot, professor at University of Georgia School of Law, holds the prestigious Annie & Zack Stanton Distinguished Professorship in Canine Welfare Law (named after the benefactor’s Corgi Annie). Milot teaches animal welfare law, floating the idea that to reduce “bad breeding” a license could be required like hunters have to get — but Tracie points out the unintended negative consequences to responsible breeders.2024-12-0229 min

How about a human egg, or a baby? We talk about taboo markets and tragic choice with Kim Krawiec. Topics range from egg “donation” to kidney transplants, altruism, reference transactions, military service, sex, and more. How do we allocate scarce goods when enough of us just don’t believe the goods should be traded like loaves of bread? Program note: We failed to ask Kim whether Joe is monstrous on account of his views on speed trap norms. Our apologies to the listeners and to Kim.

And whether selling them is like selling chicken eggs, teaching law school, or being a good samaritan. Lisa Milot joins us to talk about taxing proceeds from transfers of human body materials. We discuss Christian’s beard, astronaut hair, egg donations, oil reservoirs, how to pronounce Kim Krawiec’s name, speed traps, and follow-up on the US News episode.
