Alright guys, here is a rather controversial topic for you to discuss. Designing one's own baby. That's right, the technology and genetic research to modify your baby before birth is nearing reality. Genes that influence gender, disease inheritance, and even physical/mental capability can be selected by parents. Want the perfect aryan child? Go ahead. At first, the ability to adjust traits might be limited and not always guaranteed, but who's to say what the future holds? So, what is your take on this? Should designing babies be legal? Should it be limited to certain traits such as inheritance of cancer? In my opinion, this is the future. For a period of time there may be a division between upper class (designed babies) and lower class (regular babies), and it will be rough. However, with time, maybe every human could afford to enhance their babies, and the entire human race would reap the benefits.

  • Preventing handicaps and giving them genes to better fight diseases/have immunity to them is cool and I'm fine with. I'm kinda torn between allowing them to be attractive and physically superior like spartans. I mean it's like in the comic books when they create a super soldier serum. It's the future of human evolution and what not, but instead we would use it to just fight wars against each other and other violent things.
