Yes, but you're starting with a pretty big assumption. Not many populations in the world have 90% green-eyed genes.* (Do any?) Meanwhile, a significant majority of populations are at least 90% brown-eyed gene carriers. Mixed race families aren't German+Dutch, they're German+Chinese+North African (etc.). Green eyes don't have a chance of becoming dominate in the world in the next 35 years unless you exclude Africans, Asians and Native Americans from the gene pool.

*Keep in mind there are multiple SNPs involved to determine eye color. It's not as simple as introductory biology makes it seem.

The artisan cheese makers in the U.S. already call their cheeses by unique names. The cheeses that will be affected are the bulk cheeses which are bland imitations of the original European cheeses.

First world problem: Roquefort and Bleu cheeses from France now seem to be made on an assembly line, to the point where you can see exactly where the machinery injected the mold in a uniform pattern. I'd be in favor of requiring them to be labeled American-style Roquefort too.

On adoptee forums, it has been noted that most of the comments are more about the adoptive parents being such saints for adopting than about the adoptees themselves. Even making these children stand there like misbehaving dogs with whiteboards and the photos being publicly displayed is putting the parents' feelings ahead of the children's.

These kids will grow up. They will have a much more complicated understanding of what they went through than what is exhibited here, but these photos will always be findable. It's not really about what is best for them, at all.
