SciFi Poll: Would you have your child genetically engineered? see details?

Question

Would you have your child genetically engineered or modified in order to remove genetic deformities, disorders, or for example, the probability of having a heart disorder later on in life, if it were safe to do so?

My personal opinion, I'm not sure. Obviously I wouldn't want my kid to for example, have poor eyesight or something if I could have that fixed and it were safe to. However, I also think that if it were possible to genetically modify a person like that, it might become too 'stepford' or people might start to become alike--if you can modify people disease-wise then it could progress to physical appearance, etc.

Answer 1

Absolutely, I would. If I had the ability to save my child from a premature death or chronic health problems, how could I not do it?

Answer 2

God created us all in his own special particle way and if we had a special defect he would want us to go with it and teach others how to deal with that same defect .,{ if we were meant to be perfect God would have created us that way.}
