A white woman is suing a sperm bank in Chicago because she wanted a white baby and ended up with a black baby. Do you think the lawsuit is justified? Should she be satisfied with the baby, who is now 2? Or is she right to sue because she didn’t get what she wanted from the sperm bank? Would you sue if you were in her situation? Or would you let it go and raise the child the best way you could?

“She got a child to raise and love. Wasn’t that the point of it all? I as a parent could not imagine putting a child through this. We are all human beings. That is what is wrong with this country. They don’t get it. What you look like on the outside has no bearing on who you are or who you can be. There are lots of people out there who want children. I am sure if she doesn’t want it she can find a million people that do.”

“For me personally I would be upset too. No one is saying she now regrets the baby at all, or that baby isn’t loved. Regardless, she has the right to sue. The sperm bank is to blame. I would suggest she has had an issue with it from the beginning but just tried accepting it for what it was, not wanting to seem like a horrible person for her feelings. I don’t think it’s horrible at all — unfortunate, but not horrible.”

“It’s a sad world we live in. Everybody sues everyone for everything. This is a human being. I feel sorry for the child. She didn’t get what she paid for? She got more than what she paid for! Sad!”

“I can’t believe this is even a question.”

“A child is a blessing from God, whether he/she is black, white, purple, etc. But in her defense the sperm bank should be held responsible for their mistake.”

“Of course they’re not stupid enough to say that they regret this child, and of course they remembered to say during the interview that they still love the child. They wouldn’t want to seem like the bigots that they really are. That’s what this lawsuit is really about.”

“She wanted a lily-white, blonde-haired, blue-eyed child and she didn’t get it? Wake up, people. Racism is still alive and well even though this is now 2014. If she didn’t want anything but a white baby, then maybe she should have done it the old-fashioned way with a white man, and she would have gotten her white child. Oh, but wait, no guarantee with that now either, is there?”
