I don't believe it's ethical to breed for any trait that IS a disease or otherwise comes with ANY health concerns.

those albino reptiles don't look nearly as uncomfortable as shar-peis, pekingnese, or teacup chihuahuas do. they all require special treatment.
according to the ethical guidelines this country practices, breeding for albinism is nothing.
