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.
But the situation I'm proposing is that if some day in the future londo and I want kids but between the two of us can't have them and decide to go for an egg donor. I would look for, yes, a donor whose distinguishable characteristics matched ours - blonde or light brunette hair, light eyes, light skin, high IQ, etc etc etc. I would put these characteristics in any ad I would post looking for an egg donor, and yes I would say that people who don't fit in those categories should not apply. So I think it satisfies the same amount of "need" as the woman you've linked to, who only asks for replies that fit her criteria.
Would you really prefer someone with light eyes and skin who was blind, deaf, and had MS over someone with brown eyes, olive skin, and an olympic gold medal?
No, but I don't think that's the question or situation here. I'm really confused as to where you got it from, because it's quite obviously not what the Craigslister wants.
I don't think it is, either. But suppose that tomorrow, someone really does post an ad on craigslist that cares only about race, eye color, IQ, etc. How would it look any different?
And how do we know that any Craigslist ad looking for kittens to adopt isn't really someone who will put them in bags and light them on fire? There's no reason to assume the worst in either case. It's a rational assumption that someone looking for an egg donor cares first about health and disease, to the point that it doesn't need to be stated.
Then you don't need to see the rest of the comments here. Because we have been discussing "if what they posted they cared about is really all they cared about, what does that make them?". The hypothetical I mentioned above arguing with neuromancerzss wasn't even about disease, it was about a woman who was one inch too short.
So I don't need to read the rest of the thread because you guys are going off on wild tangents in the realm of assuming completely evil stupidity on the part of someone you have no real reason to assume that of? Check.
