If I had a choice I would have nothing but daughters but when you mess with nature you get things all screwed up. My first child was a girl so I was happy so hopefully I am blessed with more girls.

This may not happen immediately but letting people choose their embryo is a step in that direction. It'll start out with choosing the sex and selecting for embryos not susceptible to genetic disease, and then it'll be selecting against low IQs, or blindness, or deafness, or small breasts, or dark hair, or brown eyes; where do we draw the line? The progression of the species relies on random combinations, but this unnatural selection is neutering the process of natural evolution.

I say you do your best with what you're given, both as a child and as a parent.
Exactly what I was thinking.. Sure it sounds kind of cool, but once this happens how are we to say NO to making the perfect people? We already let to fuck with the sex. why not the muscles too? (or anything else)
