Until very recently a fertility clinic required clients
to choose donors from the same ethnicity. Catherine a client to the clinic was
told that she could only choose white donors,”That’s
when everything went downhill. I was absolutely floored." days
Catherine at a later interview. According to the website of the clinic clients
could only choose donors of similar ethnicity to limit differences in between
the future child and parent(s). When asked about this issue the clinics
spokes man said the website was outdated and undergoing construction and the
clinic had already treated patients who wanted ethnically different donors. To
which the article`s author Mary Williams writes "All hail the Regional Fertility Program, unafraid of
miscegenation since 2013! A whole year ago! And booooo to those irresponsible
media reports that directly quoted our own doctors and promotional
materials!" The clinic held that a child should be in touch with its ethnic
roots and therefore a parent of the same ethnicity is logical. Even so the
clinic goes on to say that this debate will go on for some time and the fact
that they clanged there policy goes to show
how culturally diverse the clinic is. Mary then concluded that it all
boils down to who the person wants to have a baby with? To
with Mary writes "And that’s a question usually best determined
not by race, but the heart and the mind."
The entire article has an outrage tone
against the clinic. This can be seen when Mary mock the clinics answer to the
website error. The author also has a critical tone. By confronting the Clinic
to its decisions and pointing out there view. And finally Mary entices the reader to better
judge clinics as well as allows for people to chose. Since a family can be as colorful
as people wish it to be.
