Pardon me for saying this, but what is the moral objection everybody has to screening aesthetic features such as skin color, eye color, hair, etc.?
Think of it this way: If you're a black family, then your kid, no matter what, will run into racism eventually, be it from being denied a loan while a white person of the exact same status financially, socially, and legally being approved one, or from being called out racial epithets. Wouldn't you want to prevent your kid from having to go through that hell?
Like it or not, people judge by looks. It's a fact of life, and it will be a fact of life for all of eternity, simply because we are human. Is it a terrible thing to wish your child be allowed to live a life relatively free of such negative judgements? I say that it isn't, simply because such changes do not inherently impact ones' life negatively.
God, I am going to look at this tomorrow and wonder what the fuck I was thinking. Hopefully it'll teach me to avoid PP after I've consumed a healthy amount of alcohol.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
