Designer babies of the future

[Alex E]

Isnt it a little shallow when we talk about changing genes here, that the first thing some ppl worry about is how the kids will look? Arent you yourselves then overly obsessed with outer appearances?

Hmm, matter of zeitgeist I guess. I'm not sure it's a bad thing

Id assume that parents make genetic changes to improve their child, making their kids more beautiful. What harm is in that? Playing god... whenever youre making a child, youre playing god. With this technology you have knowledge of your genes and this knowledge gives a responsibility. You can either have some control over the creation of life, or let nature play Russian roulette



I think, especially since this would be science, the consequences can be predicted far better than in other fields. You got to take risks sometimes...

Thankkkk yoouuu...
