Relative Is Concerned About Genetic Purity

Family writes Carolyn Hax: My wife and I discovered by chance that my brother’s wife was impregnated through IVF. … It now occurs to us she may have used donor sperm. … this amounts to a blurring of our identity. Do close relatives have a right to know who the father is?

It’s easy these days to listen to voices of hate that hide behind “conservatism” and religion, although a true conservative, or someone who actually followed the teachings of their religion, would reject their poison. These unsavory folks have their own TV channels, and are all over the internet. That doesn’t mean it’s OK.

It is not OK for you to follow them and re-transmit their propaganda. It is not OK for you to adopt their poisonous hateful thoughts.

The genetic purity of your family is an idea straight from Hitler. It’s also nonsense: Going back only 19 generations: you are descendant of over a Million people, of all races, religions, colors, and nationalities.

How your brother and his wife chose to conceive their child is none of your business. The child is theirs, and a member of your family.

Clean your heads of the poison you’ve absorbed.
