Answer 1

It's too much responsibility.
I have trouble picking out a breakfast cereal at the supermarket.

Answer 2

Who is "they"? I seriously doubt what they are telling you ... I have a fatal genetic disease in my family. We've looked into some of this technology and though it is more advanced than ever before, it is still very primative. There is no way this will be in wide spread practice by 2031.

If I could choose, however, I don't think I would. For one, it would be a hassle. For two, my random combinations kids both turned out pretty cute and loveable.

• Kathryn Wilhelmina Boyd: you're a witty spitfire of a lady with comebacks for almost each thing. At twenty 3 years previous, you've already printed an edgy, hilarious e book about feminism. Your hair is auburn, lengthy, and curly. Your eyes are blue-eco-friendly. you assert you don't want a guy on your life, yet secretly, you yearn for the "All American" life and family individuals. Ryan gosling • After 2 years of courting, you 2 tie the knot. You provide start to a lady a 12 months later. Her first call both has 4 letters or is one syllable. Her center call leads to "-ora". ought to Auroura • at the same time as your daughter is two, you provide start to twin boys.

Bentley Ryder and Rylan Bennett • Your daughter is seven and your twins are 5 once you provide start on your very last baby, a lady.

Answer 4

I think it's far more interesting to "see what you get" when it comes to having babies. Part of the wonder of being pregnant is guessing the features that the baby will have, who they will resemble, etc. Besides, being able to "manufacture" your "perfect" child in a lab wouldn't be near as much fun as making them the traditional way. I love that my children look similar enough that you can tell they are related, but that they each have their own personalities and quirks that make them uniquely thier own. If we alter the genetic traits we want, who knows what the side effects will be? Look at what has happened in the canine industry... animals bred for certain characteristics starting having side effects (unwanted behaviors). Who knows the results of genetic altering- it could be far worse than breeding problems. I'd rather take my chances with natural reproduction.

Answer 5

No, I wouldn't do it because it means that humans will interfere with nature, baby development from conception to birth is a wonderous thing, and what right do humans have to stand in the way of millions of years of nature at work? This idea is wrong and should never have been thought up. whoever came up with this idea wants putting away in a very dark room, away from civilisation for a very long time.

Let the baby deveop naturally, and not with human interference. We've messed up the planet, lets do the one decent thing and leave nature to function without our doing!

Answer 6

That would take all the fun out of having a baby. There would be no suprises.

"Oh, Marie. He has your eyes."

"Yeah, I know. We picked it."

Personally, I like gambling on whether people are going to have a boy or a girl. It's so much more exciting than going to the horse races.

Answer 7

They also said in the 1950s that we would be flying our cars everywhere and living on the moon by 2000.

Personally I wouldn't. While we're trying to have a girl, we're using all the other methods--Chinese gender chart, ovulation timing, etc.

It's not fair to preprogram your child. Nature has carried us this far--why change it?

Answer 8

I would do the procedure for the gender because that is just taking the proper sperm from a man and putting them in the woman. I definatly would not want to determine what the child looked like and the things that they are good at. I would not want to decide what the baby will look like because then it would not look like its mother and father. I would want my child to decide what it likes to do I would never want to do that.

Answer 9

They are actually working on that right now. But really, I wouldn't care what my baby's eye color is or what he or she is good at. I'm going to love my baby irregardless. There is no other bond like a mother and a baby's.

Answer 10

That sounds like the Gataca movie but yeah I would do that. I mean as a pearent wouldn't you want to give your baby the best life you could.
