Biracial Children and Lawsuits By White Parents

This article is from The Gimp Parade via Rachel’s Tavern. It’s about the Long Island Couple suing the fertility clinic for the “wrong” in-vitro that resulted in having a child darker than her parents. This is not new, for in the 1990s when a white woman was given the wrong in-vitro that resulted in her having a biracial Black girl(now a teenager). She sued the clinic for damages and was generously compensated. What if such thing happened to a Black expectant mother? Would she be generously compensated for giving her the wrong treatment? Would the public be sympathetic to her plight? What you say?

Thanks for posting my opinion on the in-vitro controversy. This can be apply to adoption. I read stories of white parents taking back their adopted children after finding out that the kid is darker or of biracial descent instead of white. I know the historical racist ideology that a white woman can give birth to a black child but a Black woman can never give birth to a white child. This is the basis of white privilege and supremacy as well. The whole mating/marriage/fertility marketplace privilege White couple needs over all others.

i dont no if a black mother would be treated the same or not… but being a black woman married to a white man with three children well i am more concerned about the child or children that come from such a mistake…..what should be for most in these parents mind is loving that child… thats the number 1 thing… suing the clinic is second….
