My question about fixing the germ line is whether we will eventually take the process too far. I would hope that really severe defects would be first on the list, but I worry about making us all into Barbies and Kens.

Money talks. People will be eager to buy their children some extra good looks and enhanced sex appeal. A few more IQ points or an enhanced immune system will be a lot more expensive.
