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
[[entity-song-jian|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 [[entity-paul-ehrlich|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.
