This astounding story showcases, in a single sweep, so many things that are wrong with the world; racism, poverty, ignorance, raping an indigenous people.. the list can go on. Without doubt, the idea of the pregnancy tourist seeking a racially pure seed is primitive and disgusting. But we have heard of the white American couple desiring adoption or surrogacy that leafs through a catalogue for the blond, Ivy-leagued, so-called superior sperm. So how is this any different?! What makes this phenomenon more egregious I imagine is the hark back to colonial plundering, the holocaust or other past racism of epic proportions. Circa 2011. Just want to say, I feel very sharminda.
