Default if you could engineer your baby, would you?

tough question.

would you pick and choose which of yours and your partners traits would pass on to your child if you could?

or would you pick and choose certain ones to add/not add, and leave certain others up to fate?

discuss.

Absolutely not! Don't fuck with nature, that's my motto! :biggrin:

I recently had a son, and wouldn't want him any other way than how he turned out! It sounds cliche, but I don't believe man is responsible enough to handle what he creates...

And I don't think it's a good idea to disturb the balance of nature with something like this...

But like arnus says don't fuck with mother nature.

only if I could give him super powers

seriously though, if your family had a history of cancer and science could ensure that they could prevent it genetically in your baby, wouldn't you want them to? the question is, where do you stop? what if the doctor said, "while I'm fiddlin around I can make him smarter and more athletic too." ?
