The controversial dating website www.BeautifulPeople.com, known for only allowing beautiful people on its site, recently, launched a virtual sperm and egg bank for anyone who wants to have beautiful babies.
Interestingly, the new service appropriately titled ‘Beautiful Baby Service’ is not just available for the members but is also an open invitation for anyone who wishes to have a beautiful baby.
About starting yet another controversial trend on their website, site’s managing director, Greg Hodge, said in a statement:
“Every parent would like their child to be blessed with many fine attributes, attractiveness being one of the most sought after. For a site with members who resemble Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Angelina Jolie you can imagine the demand."
Hodge went on to add, "There are no financial benefits for us in doing so – we are simply responding to a demand for attractive donors.”
Founder defends the launch of new service
Some people might have not liked the idea of creating virtual sperm and egg bank for people who wants to have beautiful babies.
Interestingly, the new service appropriately titled ‘Beautiful Baby Service’ is not just available for the members but is also an open invitation for anyone who wishes to have a beautiful baby.
However, BeautifulPeople.com founder, Robert Hintz, does not agree as he believes that this new service will allow “even ugly people” to bring beautiful babies into the world and there’s nothing wrong with that.
“Initially, we hesitated to widen the offering to non-beautiful people. But everyone — including ugly people — would like to bring good-looking children into the world, and we can’t be selfish with our attractive gene pool,” said Hintz.
Trend ethically wrong and potentially dangerous for the society?
The founder of exclusive dating website for beautiful people, Robert Hintz, might not agree that his company is starting an ugly trend.
The critics and watchdog groups, are busy, disapproving the new trend started by the controversial dating site and are calling the new service ethically wrong.
According to Dr. David King of the watchdog group Human Genetics Alert, “It's the symptom of a very dangerous tendency in our society, a eugenic tendency I think. I think the outcome, if we allow that to go forward; will be very dangerous for our society."
However, a cultural anthropologist, Jean Smith, believes that there’s nothing wrong with the new service.
"BeautifulPeople.com is doing what people are doing anyway, which is securing what they believe to be the highest level of genetic material they can, to ensure the best chance of success for their offspring.
"This service makes it easier for those who subscribe to the same ideal of beauty as those of ‘Beautiful People' to find donors whom they perceive to supply appropriate genetic material."
