I guess I'm just not sure why you're assuming any white person who chooses sperm from a non-white donor must be doing it because of the color of their skin. Do you really find it so impossible that a white person could find the best combination of factors they're looking for in a non-white donor, for reasons that have…

Nevertheless, most mixed-race adolescents are at low risk. Most of the risk items we assessed may be interpreted as related to stress, so we may therefore choose to interpret mixed race as a source of stress. We cannot identify further the source of the stress.

I like the part where they state the literature is not consistent, "This literature is not entirely consistent. In some studies no differences are found between mixed-race and single-race children.7–9 "

Given that the story was only released so that the clinic director could justify why it's okay for him to refuse to allow any white woman to carry a non-white child, no matter what the reason, I think there's a pretty good chance there's "some serious info missing." I mean, yes, it's possible that this was just a…

I don't think it sounds like there's any more to this story at all. The clinic director very clearly has an agenda, and is equally clearly horrified at the idea that "some single woman" might be able to create a mixed race child he doesn't believe should exist. That he managed to dig up one case from five years ago…

Having trouble getting your paper published, are you?

Neo-Nazis are using bigger words than usual these days. Go back to stormfront.

One could have several reasons for not wanting to have biological children despite being completely fertile, usually connected with inherited genetic conditions.

Bullshit. As someone who you would look at and say "Oh she's white" and be WRONG, what color child would I be allowed to have? Huh? Race has too many nuances to make these kind of blanket assumptions.

Should male parents not have female children because they'll never understand what it's like to be a woman? Should I not date a POC because I can't share their experience?

What I find most creepy is the assumption that ethnicity and culture are fundamentally linked. This is, to be blunt, utter nonsense. You are a member of the culture of the people who raise you, period.

Who says they did prioritise that? Everyone seems to be assuming so, but it seems to me they probably just found a donor they liked who happened to not be white and were told no...

This lady could also go out, have a one-night stand with a man of a different ethnicity, and raise a child that is not the same skin color as she is. Oh, the horror!

I suspected this would be in Alberta before I even read the article. I'm sure that makes me horribly biased or something...

Alberta is basically the Texas of Canada. Oil, cattle and conservatism.

If people can adopt children of a different color, race, or ethnicity as infants, and those infants can grow up just fine and discover their heritage on their own, what makes having an Artificial Insemination or Sperm Donor child different?

So we could accuse this doctor of the malpractice eugenics?

Oh, fuck them. My friends who are a gay couple chose a Latina egg donor. The bio father is European Jewish and the other father is Indonesian. Frankly, their twins do not resemble either of them or each other. One has olive skin and dark hair, one has pale skin and blond hair. That does not make them less of…

Does rubbing stained sheets in your spouses face rise to the level of domestic battery? Would it justify retaliatory violence? Is there a point coming any time soon?

There is a seat for you at the Bayless-Smith table. Don't forget your ass hat.
