Designer Disabilities

Designer Disabilities
I am sad to report that we have already entered the world of designer babies. A Washington Post article over the weekend told the story of two deaf lesbian lovers who decided to have a baby. But, not just any baby. It had to be a deaf baby. The local sperm bank told them that, no, they did not have any sperm from deaf donors. They specifically excluded obvious genetic disabilities from their collection.
So, these two kind and compassionate lovers sought out a deaf male to donate the sperm. In just a couple of more months, the happy couple will have their first child, who will be born deaf because that's what they wanted.
Disgusting!
