Thinking about raising a baby from some other father activates my disgust reaction. But maybe it’s more related to the idea of the woman’s (hidden?) infidelity than the baby itself.
> There are plenty of folks who have to rely on sperm donors or surrogate mothers to make a baby happen.
I don’t see other people’s difficulties as relevant to my preferences.
For example, homeless people eating from trash cans doesn’t affect my dietary choices.
