Do you think choosing your childs gender, and other genes before it is born is wrong?? would you ever choose your babys eye color, hair color, or gender, etc?

Actually I think it is possible to choose eye color and hair color, at least thats what my science teacher told us...

Yes, it's wrong because it encourages the belief that certain physical characteristics make one human being more worthy than another.
In fact, eugenicists like Margaret Sanger and Hitler believed in experimentation such as this. When it becomes widespread it can breed racism and selective killing.
We should praise and thank God for the diversity among babies.

The only reason I can think of for choosing a child's gender is because you have some sex linked genetic illness. I can UNDERSTAND although not agree with parents who want to choose who already have several of one gender and want the other. Otherise, yes, I think it is morally wrong. Choosing eye color/hair color, etc. isn't possible anyway, but would also be morally wrong.

well going that far can be a little harder.
There are procedures for choosing specific genders as embryos and there are procedures for separating the sperm into genders (this is refered to as "sperm sorting"), but I've never seen anything that goes THAT far (hair color, eye color, etc..)
I've talked about gender selection with my hubby recently...but we can't afford the expensive procedures (usually you can't get them unless you have some sort of fertility problem anyway, not an issue for us)...I want to try the old fashion ("old wives tale") ways...and he says that takes all the fun out of trying. LOL
So, I don't think its wrong, but I believe HE thinks it is...in a way. I still say we can have fun trying, even if we have to try in a specific way. I just want my baby boy...that's all. How wrong is that?

Wrong in the fullest extent of the word. I would never, ever do it for selfish reasons.
A good reason: hemophilia only shows up in males. If hemophilia ran in my family, I would engineer than I had a girl. Hemophilia is a debilitating disease, though. I wouldn't engineer against obesity because I don't believe that it is a disease- I believe it is a lifestyle choice.

I think it's playing God and very wrong.
Hitler wanted to do this...his dreams did not have a good result or end.
No I wouldn't do it; for if everyone did then aborting the unwanted children would come next.

I guess it just depends on your life style and what you believe in b/c I think god has it planned out of what he wants to happen and altering his plans to me just isn't right I mean its kind of basically like you should just be happy with what you get...and grateful that you can even conceive kids!!!

Yep, on every level. If we all did that, none of us would be original. We'd all have blonde hair and blue eyes.

I think they have gone way too far with it. I would never even think about customizing a child.
