A while back, I made a post comparing people who solicit for designer donor eggs to Nazis. As always, art and humor can never find ways to be as awful as real life. Lookie what we have here from Sunday.
Why, because it's wider than matters of the human physical form, which is the entire context of this discussion? Do you need me to add "bodily aesthetics" to know what I'm talking about?
Oh, I know what you're talking about... the problem is, I don't know that you know what you're talking about. I'm reasonably convinced, at this point, that you don't.
If you can coherently argue that "bodily aesthetics" are distinct from "fruit aesthetics," go get yourself a PhD. in Philosophy. It isn't something you get to just "assume."
Yes, because if you actually knew what 3000 years of aesthetics had to say about beauty, of the human form and of fruit trees, you'd know why you were wrong.
Your justification for the Himler family's choice of egg donors is predicated on a misunderstanding of the later.
Our fine host already won the argument by -starting- the -previous- post by Godwining himself. You may also want to reflect on the profound nature of the subject of this post, Mister "Why So Serious?".
