Its not. You are genetically human and thus your hair and your baby are genetically human as well.
And what do ya know? A baby's hair has it's own genetics and not the genetics of either parent.

Its not. I have no difficulty in saying that it is genetically human, as is your hair.
Why use the qualifier "genetically"??? Is a fetus an individual human or not?
Now that I think of it, what would your moral stance be on this?
"Do you morally object to a person who plucks grey or brown hair because it would imply that one color was better than another?"
