7. That would be "full sibling" as opposed to "half sibling."
I don't think it's a pejorative. Two of my children are full siblings, and my oldest daughter is their half sibling. We don't refer to her that way casually (we just say "sister" and "brother"), but it is certainly a biological fact.

If I were going to go the route of artificial insemination, I would be likely to choose someone whose physical traits matched my husband. I don't think looking for a blue-eyed blonde contributor makes someone an "Aryan Supremacist."
