Is Genetically Engineering Your Children Ethical?

[balungaloaf]

what about that couple in cali who were deaf.  they were able to make their newborn deaf.

so should that be legal?  to intentionaly cripple your child one way or the other to your liking?

Considering we have no problem with aborting savants and individuals who are inconvenient or deformed, I cannot seehow that argument really holds much water.  Unless you want to say that abortion is less harmful then tweaking an individual to make their lives easier.

Techanicaly if you use that agrument then the parents could be jail for a hate crime, murdering because they are descrimanting. I don’t think you can just abort someone because you think that baby is ugly or you wanted a girl. I think you have to have a real reason to abort like having no way to provide for the chilld or something.

Abortions are like divorce.  You don’t need a reason.  Just fill out the appropriate forms, sign at the X and pay the fee and you can get them for any reason.

So yes, it’s pefectly legal to keep aborting babies until you get the gender you want, etc.  Under today’s laws.

I will only approve of genetic modification if I can program them to be submissive slaves that can not think for themselves and do all the work around the house…also they should expire before they become too old to become a problem.

sounds like your a plantation owner. lol

Or a Dominant…  :evil:

Don’t have the land to be a plantation owner….I just hate cleaning the rim of my toilet and the such.  Maybe I can have them actually born with some sort of harness like thing attached to their body so they can haul the trash and do yard-work easier.  So many possibilities.

Well considering the ape was probably smoking the same stuff he was, then that makes sense…
