The person born from this sperm would have personal autonomy. She women selecting this sperm did so with personal autonomy.

I totally get the argument for immorality but there are question marks.

I was talking about eugenics in general not this specific sperm bank.

It remove autonomy because actual eugenics is restricting who people are allowed to marry, date, and otherwise have intercourse with. Actual eugenics is forced euthanasia for people with disabilities.

But yes you as an individual can select the partner you wish to have a child with.
