The couple's behavior could indicate that they are dissatisfied with the carelessness of the sperm bank and, on a matter of principle, want to teach them a lesson. And why wouldn't they request a baby who was the same race as they are? That's not a sign that they are malicious people who are going to withhold love from an innocent child.

Whether money makes people happy has nothing to do with them wanting to accumulate it. Money is equated with the security it provides. As for Robin Williams his current drug of choice was alchohol.
