Rachel Lu

Senior editor at Law & Liberty (Liberty Fund) and author of "Pronatalism for Freedom-Lovers" (24 March 2026), an essay arguing for a policy-reform-focused, "libertarian" pronatalism while explicitly disavowing the genetic-engineering fringe she says has attached itself to the term.

Matters to this vault as the bridge between its existing Song Jian/one-child-policy cluster and the AI-driven embryo-selection material this session surfaced: her essay is the first text this vault has read that names "polygenic embryo selection," and it invokes Paul Ehrlich to explain anti-natalist anxiety the same way an earlier essay on this venue invokes the Club of Rome to explain coercive population control.
