Letter: Moral issues raised by 'designer babies'
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: As the black mother (my father was from Jamaica) of two white, grey-eyed blonde children, I wholeheartedly endorse Kenan Malik's arguments in his article 'Children of a confused society' (3 January). Nature has none of the objections to mixed race families which so trouble people like Dame Jill Knight.
Politicians and those critical of the black Italian mother who has elected to have a white baby have managed to create a new area of prejudice. This proclaims that the naturally fertile may have a different race child, but if you need artificial intervention, you must stick to some theoretical colour code.
Yours faithfully,
