Want To Have Justin Timberlake’s Baby?
In my search of morning gossip to go with my coffee, I stumbled upon something quite disturbing, yet amazing at the same time. Now, with everything that I’ve seen in my short 24-years on this planet, I am not easily shocked and although this didn’t shock me, per se, it sure as hell surprised me.
A Los Angeles based sperm bank, California Cryobank, has separated their sperm donors into celebrity look-a-likes. So now you can have the baby you always dreamed of having!
How superficial.
I am really on the fence on how I feel about this. Part of me says that it’s fabulous. That people day dream of having, say, Justin Timberlake’s, baby all the time so now, they can have a little bundle of joy with those signature curls, bone structure and of course, the baby blue eyes.
At the same time, should you really be so shallow about your babies looks? Especially if you’re going to a sperm bank to get impregnated (let it be known that I do not judge those who do, the thought has crossed my mind a time or two, actually.) shouldn’t you be happy to have a baby that is yours and healthy? No, that’s not enough… now the baby has to look like your favorite star too.
On the list of names, some are rather disturbing. Why you would want to have a baby that looks like Bob Saget or Tom Green is beyond me. Anton Yelchin is on the list, and here I didn’t think anyone knew who he was… apparently he’s famous enough for you to have a baby that looks just like him! How adorable!
Names that I was surprised to see on the list? DJ AM and Heath Ledger. No matter how adorable those babies would be, I think that’s a little tactless.
What do you think about this service? Would you do it or recommend it to a friend?

I wrote about this yesterday myself and I looked at the list of people there. The Tom Green one killed me I was ewwing like crazy. But then I saw people like Jake Gyllenhaal and some of the good looking people. I could finally say I had Jakey’s baby.
All in all I decided that it was just plain creepy. I’m happy though they have found a way to make money. Very smart thinking.

Amazing. Appalling. This idea is amazingly appalling.
Society doesn’t have enough ways to capitalize on these celebrities, so they invent new ones daily, and this one is sick and twisted.
For the celebrity.
For the child.
Seriously folks, why do you want to fashion your child to be what you want aesthetically?
Did they not stop to think, that there is no guarantee that the baby will come out looking ANYTHING like that? It doesn’t just depend on the sperm, it’s a combination of both parents and family genes.
People are ridiculous.
