No. It'd be a nice change of pace.
Disgusting..
When will we start calling it ‘decanting’?
I would have to agree.
THEY HAVEN’T GOT THE ‘STONES’ TO ABORT ‘EM OUTRIGHT, SO THEY ENSURE THAT THEY’RE BORN MAIMED AND STAY THAT WAY?
WHAT FRESH HELL IS THIS??!!
Pope Benedict XVI speaks out against "designer babies"
Couples Cull Embryos to Halt Heritage of Cancer
Many U.S. Couples Seek Embryo Screening (designing the dream child Alert!)
Ethicists debate issues about beginning of life
'Embryo Bank' Stirs Ethics Fears (Clients Pick Among Fertilized Eggs) Idea of 'designer' babies with defective genes stirs ethics questions
And of course this “designer disabled child” will receive federal assistance (i.e., you tax dollars at work!)
If I have the option of gene sifting my children, I will. If I have the option of giving my children strong, beautiful bodies, superior immunity to disease, and brilliant minds; it would be almost immoral to not do it.
I hate to say this, but I’d venture there’s lots of cash and special treatment at stake. Wasn’t there a case recently of a Mom having her kids fake some disability in order to get them benefits and into a personalized education?
Only a stupid person would think that a world full of intelligent people would be boring.
How absolutely sick and revolting!
It reminds me of Paris in the 1700’s, when the beggars wanted their children also to be beggars. But even better beggars than they were. So they deliberately maimed their infants, breaking their arms and legs or putting out an eye with a hot poker, because the disabled beggars raked in ever so much more money than the “normal” ones.
Humanity was depraved back then. Now with DNA tests, in vitro fertilization, and “reduction” of embryos, modern technology helps mankind (and womankind) to be more and more depraved.
Spoken like a good eugenicist.
If everyone was intellegent, it wouldn’t be intelligent anymore—just average.
Just the tip of the ice-burg.
For example, what if it turns out that parents can can choose if their children have a propensity to be gay, or have religious experiences?
Will heterosexuals want to select for straight children, or homosexuals for gays and lesbians?
Will Muslims or Christians want to select against children likely to grow up to be agnostics or atheists, and vice versa?
The thing is though, it isn't likely to happen. If people are allowed to choose the traits of their offspring, they won't choose the traits that other people value. Like the dwarf that wants a dwarf child, stupid, ugly and ignorant people will choose to have stupid, ugly and ignorant children.
If you go to ghettos in Europe or America, you will see this happening. Those kids who tend to excel academically are persecuted by their peers. Families disparage higher education.
The principle seems to be that people want to be more like the way they already are. Tough guys want to be tougher, smart people want to be smarter and pretty girls want to be more beautiful.
Can it eleminate the “rude” gene?
Ping!
