Subject: Engineering your infant


Sunflower State
Saw on Today show this AM a Doc in California can engineer the sex of your child so you can have a boy or girl. Now you can select other traits like eye color and hair color.

What do you all think of this? I think this is a mistake long term. There is something special about kids being able to say "I have my dad's eyes or mom’s hair color etc" Can't image a 13 year old saying "my folks wanted a blonde haired blue eyed girl so they made me that way". Seems pretty impersonal, like ordering a car.

I do not like the idea of tweaking life. Perhaps good will come of this.
