Our medical tech is advancing rapidly and one of the things I have heard used to put the breaks on rolling this stuff out that could save literally millions of lives is how that tech can be abused. Even conservative doctors that are frequent guests on talk shows say that they support government regulation to prevent Designer babies.
Why?
From where does this fear that every parent will pick out perfect blonde haired Blue Eyed babies come from?
Whatever look that they want their kids to have is their choice, it seems to me, what is the harm of it?
Meanwhile we could have ZERO children born with defects or genetically prone to diseases.
Having more blond blue eyed kids running around seems like such a small price to pay, but I dont see what is wrong with that anyway.
Could someone explain this fear to me?
