DNA TEST GIVES STUDENT ETHNIC SHOCKS!
I know that I would be extremely interested to know my entire makeup. I know that my grandfather was adopted and I've always wanted to know the exact ethnicity of his blood parents.I think it's wrong for people who are "mixed" to be discriminated against by someone who is "100%" of the race. I think it's an awesome idea for kids to learn about the complexity of race and ethnicity because the ideas will show them that it's okay to not be JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. It's almost better to be different, in your own way of course. Also, the results could also help pinpoint people so they can stop denying who they really are. These concrete tests are accurate and a great idea!
YOUR GAMETE, MYSELF - Jan 26
Selecting an egg donor must be one of the most exciting things ever! Although, that vital decision must be a stressful one as well. I can't imagine having to cycle through a dozen or more pictures of women, with the thought of taking their eggs to make a child. What if your baby looks absolutely nothing like you and everything like the other person? What if when your child grows up they are walking down a busy street and notice someone walking by to look JUST like them? Will they turn around and question eachother? WOW! What an intense idea. It's horrible that many women in the world are either unable to have children or their relationship permits them from having one. I know that if a friend of mine would need an egg, I would definitely donate.
