So yah even a breeder lower life form as u put it, who can't be snatched from him should be better than one that can be taken from him saying he isn't their biological parent
Forget gay single men. Single people, in general, have a very difficult time adopting children.
There are many people in this world of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and marital status who are willing to adopt children and give them a loving home. Unfortunately, there are many political and legal barriers for some people to adopt.
You make an excellent point that biological children give you an inherent biological right and claim over your children. Karan Johar though is someone with power and money. In extremely homophobic countries, including parts of India, gay men and women would struggle to have custody of biological children. History of homophobia has shown gay people having biological children being taken away as well.
In general adoption laws are older and established compared to surrogacy. Closed adoptions have been in the legal system for a long time. Surrogacy is new and legal systems are still catching up. The woman who donates her egg can still claim motherhood. If she is a western Caucasian it becomes an iffy matter of two nation's surrogacy laws. If she ever has a stable partner, she can always build the case that she and her partner would make a stable healthy family than a single gay man. Then there is the matter of the person who carried the child.
Of course, this is all pure speculation and KJo and kids will have a long fruitful family life.

My pragmatic philosophy is "and it harm none do as thou wilt." In that sense, KJo or anyone, as a matter of fact, has full freedom to choose what kind of family they want to start.

I still personally reserve the right to look down on breeders as a lesser form of being. One of life's sweetest joys is being a single childless person mocking everyone for their life choices.
