First of all, I'd like to make sure everyone understands that I'm talking about preventing homosexuality and everything else mentioned below before birth.
How should we define body defects and illnesses if we were to prevent any of them? Just a hundred years, homosexuality was treated as an illness but now it's just a different way of life.
If baldness were preventable, should it be prevented? Many men carry the bald look well after all.
If obesity were preventable, should it be? Obesity can of course lead to health problems but there's a sizable minority of people who find it sexy.
If the having red hair and freckles was preventable should it be? Gingers are more prone to skin cancer I think but they sure look cool.
To me I guess it'd be best to prevent those things that you know that for certain that absolutely no one would want like cancer, debilitating illness, deformities etc.
