Richard Branson to launch the world’s first dyslexic-only sperm bank

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;52040618]Sure and I'm not arguing that asking for a kid with a disability is good.

I'm arguing that your comparison is worthless[/QUOTE]

the whole purpose is that you could replace "dyslexia" with another disability and the argument for it would be just as dumb. there's no link between dyslexia and creativity or success. there's no link between inbreeding and creativity or success.

i just decided to say something like being inbred as it was the first thing to come to mind because:

both genetic disabilities
both have a history in important figures ((most important))
and both range in severity, im not comparing someone with backwards mech legs to someone who cant write

Considering it's still up and was uploaded before April fools, clearly not.

This should be illegal. While I do think dyslectic people should be able to donate, making a bank full of just their seed is retarded. How is being dyslectic a strength? It's an annoying condition that makes millions of children feel bad and now Branson wants to increase the percentage of children who have it because "look at how caring and unique I am". Ignorant asshole.

Ok so I got a bit carried away, dyslectics tend to do better on some cognitive tasks like pattern recognition and can do just as well as other people but that is not a reason to purposely breed a cognitive dysfunction into our species.

Aww, and I was looking forward to such a nice birthday gift.

I predict this business will close up in about a years time.

Someone succeeding in spite of a handicap is admirable Branson, but no one is about to go purposefully handicapping their children, which is cruel and bordering on a weird form of narcissism.
