no, the baby is what it is because it is a member of that population, not because society told it what it is. Society can not will something into being differnt than it is.
Saying race has nothing to do with hard science is like saying geology is a social science, and that people made up the difference in granite and basalt. I mean, they have the same elements I them, right? Not too much different, it must be society telling us one is much harder and has been through more processes to become what it is, since it can't be science.
If you are going to argue that it is a social construct, then you should at least understand what a social construct is. Societal constructs have no basis in the natural world. The term you seem to be looking for is "label" when describing other things like populations, colors and so forth. Race is only a social construct in that it can have negative connotations, like one race being superior to the others. In the scientific world, the term societal construct is not used to describe words like population, ethnicity, quantity, etc. as those words are describing something that has a basis in the natural world. The idea that society created all these labels and put them on something as a constraint is not consistent with scientific data. There are natural laws that govern these things whether they have labels or not. Gravity, for example, was not invented when an apple hit Newton in the head, but it always existed. Populations will always exist, whether they are rocks or turtles or humans. Race, on the other hand, is debatable depending on the definition you subscribe to.
