Many believe it is wrong because people are trying to play the role of God. Others just think it's a way to get their "perfect" child. What do you think?

I wish they did that with me! LOL. Imagine having a perfect body cause of correctness they do to your mother's sperm...but if it is really risky I wouldn't do that kind of procedure on my eggs or sperm thingy. Well I'm pretty insecure of my body that's why I said that.

I think genetic testing is okay as far as checking for genetic defects , but as for using it to find out how the baby will look that is a separate matter.

why ...WHY?
your child is perfect in everyway anyway, why are people so hell bent on messing around with stuff....

Way interesting topic! I have feelings all over the place on this! My basic thought is if this can create less things like autism...etc. then if may have it's place? Beyond that I really wonder? Eye color? Yikes!

I understand the curiosity to know what your baby will look like, so testing that is fine. But deciding how your child looks like is wrong. It's not natural and you should not care about how your child looks. Our society is so vain.

Whether we like it or not, that's probably the future. Science and technology are making great progress. Imagine curing and preventing disease in the womb; or before.

Man's version of perfect is wrong, because no matter how good man is, he is still not perfect.

No.

God belief, or lack thereof, isn't necessary in this question. However, it won't start with those features. It will start with removing genetic defects, etc.
Smartkid1 November 03, 2009 21:10:42

eh. why not. i personally dont care
Piwan November 03, 2009 19:49:27

I don't agree with testing. Anyone seeking anything "perfect" will be dissappointed, and we do not have the right to play God...that position is TAKEN!

No, I wouldn't do this...creepy! This manipulation makes me think of an old Twilight Zone episode in which when girls reached the age of 16 they picked one of three model prototypes into which they would be transformed...kinda Stepford Wife-like...and this one girl was refusing to do it and in the end they did some sort of lobotomy on her so that she would agree to being transformed into one of the standard looks acceptable in the society.

I wouldn't do it, but to each their own.

That's a horrible idea. A child is born the way it is supposed to be and it's fine just the way it is. The only reason I could possibly see for genetic altering is if the baby would be susceptible to a life-threatening disease or a disorder such as autism.
