Nature vs. Nurture by Chase Petra is a cool song that hits the same beats about children, parents, and ethics!

The Weirdest Thing I Learned This Week podcast turned out to be the perfect place to recommend this book, for so many reasons. The best way I can describe this story is: parts of Frankenstein and Stepford Wives reanimated with modern concerns.
