Seau family sues NFL and Riddell (helmet maker) for Junior's death
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”

Oh shit that's awesome!!! The human race is doomed.
I've always felt that China's communist control of its people was a good thing, as the unfettered ambition of 1.3 billion people of such industry and cunning as the Chinese possess would hasten the world to its end.
Imagine if all the world advanced the way the U.S. did, but in a shorter amount of time. We're headed that way as China and India modernize. It will be a mess.

I had commented on this last fall when it came up on Reddit, but basically the jist of this is this: cultural relativism.
It's easy for us to look at an article like this and feel appalled, but think about it from a chinese man's perspective. To them, carrying on the bloodline is the most important thing. Couple this with the fact that each person can only have one child, and you can see why a man might feel cheated, when his chosen partner hid her genes from him.

That would mean that partners are obliged to disclose their plastic surgery history to partners as a requirement of marriage, and that's not really something I agree with.

Again, cultural relativism.

Do the Chinese rely on arranged marriages or marriages of convenience? If so, then I could see the need for full disclosure, as far as plastic surgery is concerned.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer?

That makes sense, and I did miss the culturally relative significance of such a lawsuit. I guess I was still banging my head against the desk from the Seau lawsuit news.
From what I've heard, it's not true that you can only have one child. I've been told (by a Chinese girl in China) each person can have one child, so each couple can have two. Regardless, like Buff said, it requires a level of disclosure that will make a mess of things for those looking to pair and have a family. There's a certain level of disclosure required between partners, and admitting to plastic surgery crosses that line. However I don't know if the Chinese rely on stare decisis in their rulings.
