A genetically engineered human being, true, but a human being nonetheless. The resulting child would be no different from you and me.

And you actually know synthetic people created by this method? You would allow your daughter to date one?

I beg to differ, just as with Dolly, there would inevitably be serious medical issues with such a child, and probably issues we know nothing about since it's uncharted territory. Hence no way to help such a child. IMO it would be a medical experiment, way too dangerous.

They're not synthetic people. The only difference is that either the sperm or egg present at their conception was created in a lab. Like I said, people used to fear that IVF kids would be "cold" or "mechanical."

You would allow your daughter to date one?

Yes. Why wouldn't I?
