Eugenics/Designer-babies... is the concept really that bad?
#49
RE: Eugenics/Designer-babies... is the concept really that bad?
By making babies that fit what we WANT them to be, we are likely to decrease diversity, harming the species' genetic fitness. Whether we care more about the general principle of evolution than our baby growing to be a tall, blue-eyed, big-dicked genius or whatever is a matter of philosophical distinction.

I guess it will be like this-- everyone will want everyone ELSE'S babies to be normal, but will secretly attempt to gain genetic privilege for their own.
