Hair and eye color don't truly affect a baby, because they don't mean a smarter or even stronger baby, it's just a superficial cosmetic feature. So if people really want to waste money on that, then whatever, as long as there are laws in place in society that prevent discrimination based on appearance in the workplace, then this doesn't affect that at all. It's people's personal reproductive choices. Also, this is nothing like the Nazis. The Nazis were a state party telling people what they could and couldn't do with their own bodies, who could and couldn't have babies. This is the opposite, people choose for themselves their babies, and even infertile couples can have children. This reverses the Nazi idea of purity, and only certain people breeding essentially, and allows everyone the chance to choose whatever genes from within their pools. This recognizes that we as a human race share all the hair and eye colors, and thus should be free to choose whichever we want.
