Designer Babies

I could not help but notice that every one of the Nobel sperm-bank children is a spoiled brat. However, my anger peaked when I read Ted Carson’s bigoted remark that “Most remedial students are blacks, then Hispanics and then whites. . . . But by the year 2000, there will be 50 million blacks in the U.S., whereas the white population will be smaller than it is today.” I suggest that we give black children all the privileges that upper-middle-class white children have and then see if they still deserve to be so unfairly labeled.
