Ever been to a friend’s house and seen their baby and said: “OMG, it must have skipped a generation?”

Well, don’t worry … A popular dating website only for hot people has branched out to provide a fertility forum aimed at creating beautiful babies.

Beautifulpeople.com is the largest community of exclusively beautiful people in the world and it’s founded on one basic human principle, that we all at least initially want to be with someone we find attractive.

“If the dating and social networking market was a nightclub, beautiful people would be the VIP room” says Greg Hodge, Managing Director of beautifulpeople.com

But Hodge admits that beauty is subjective.  And that is why the website has given their members the power to define beauty in a fair and democratic way, by voting prospective members “in” the coveted community or “off” the beautiful island. In a matter of 72 hours, the website’s existing members vote on whether they think a new member is good looking enough to make the cut or not.

And the premium membership fee is a mere $25 a month.

Since going global in 2009, beautiful people has been receiving numerous requests from fertility clinics wanting to advertise on their website. After looking into it, the website realized that it boils down to two things:

“One, there is a global shortage worldwide of sperm and egg donors. And two, one of the primary pre-requisites recipients have in their donors is that their donors are attractive.”

In response to the advertising requests, they decided to create “the fertility forum” which gives members a platform to discuss the issue and gives members access to information should they wish to move forward and donate their eggs or their sperm.  The website has also opened the forum to ugly people who want to ultimately improve their gene pool.

Beautiful members can post if they want to donate their genetically gorgeous eggs and sperm to not-so-pretty couples who want babies.

Hodge says the forum has been very successful but they are seeing a backlash.

Critics say its superficiality at it’s utmost, it condones wrong behavior and values.  To this, beautifulpeople.com’s Managing Director replies:

“We have gotten outcries that this is shallow and wrong but you can understand that parents love their children regardless of whether they are born advantaged or disadvantaged. That’s the beauty of Mother Nature and that’s rooted in an extensive nature of survival. But you can also understand that single women or couples that are unable to conceive children also want to secure every advantage for their children. And like it or not in today’s society, attractiveness is an advantage.”

So bottom line, given the choice, would you want a look-a-like Brad Pitt or Angie Jolie baby or a Shrek?

Most fertility experts agree that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and there are never any guarantees. Dr John Zhang, the Founder and Medical Director at the New Hope Fertility Clinic in New York City points out that:

“If it comes to the so called genetic variations, it’s very hard to predict what kind of mixture of genetic material will be contributing to different features of the body so that’s why there is no guarantee that two beautiful persons will produce a beautiful baby. Not to mention that we have different definitions of beauty.”
