I don't buy that people have such a homogeneous set of desires, though.
Even if everyone chose blond, blue-eyed kids - and why is it always that? - there'd still be a metric fuckton of variation between them.

I do accept that being that picky might be a sign of distinctly iffy parenting skills, but - again - that shifts the emphasis to being a better or worse parent. And since the picky parents would still be better than some, and since even bad parents tend, on balance, to be (just about) good enough, it's not obvious that the danger's great.
