Donors Balance Large Sums With the Potential for Psychic Pain And Physical Pitfalls
A difficult balance. In order to illustrate it, The Daily Cal will find a student who had no psychic pain (?) or physical pitfalls. Oh, wait, that would be silly. Actually, it wasn't even a student. Instead, it's a UC Berkeley Alum who graduated in 2002... but is only 21.
Because potential parents tend to choose donors who are attractive and intelligent, some wonder if it is ethical to propagate certain traits more than others.
"The issue arises of whether donors are unwittingly participating in something where some kinds of children are preferred over others," [women's studies prof Charis Thompson] says.
There's no worry of that. I'm pretty sure they're preferring certain children quite wittingly.
