Do you think people should be permitted to have "designer babies"?

Asked by nikipedia (28072points) April 25th, 2008

Genetics is getting more and more sophisticated, and it’s only a matter of time until we have the technology to decide to remove genes for things like depression or obesity from our children, and include genes for things like intelligence.

Would you be willing to design-a-baby? Why or why not?

What if everyone else was doing it, and your child would be disadvantaged if you didn’t?

Would you remove diseases or deformities?

Where would you draw the line?
