The new ethical controversy?

Would I abort a fetus if I knew it had down syndrome. I don't think so. I truly do not believe so. So many of the kids that I coached at the Special Olympics would not have been "better off". That's crazy.
I can't wait for the day that we give an egg and sperm to the Dr. and you get your zygote engineered genetic disease free, and with the sex you want.
You can even pick your hair and eye color.
It is right around the corner.
Science is there to use.

Somehow this is just screaming dystopia...

When you can start actually picking traits as more preferable than others then the whole discrimination and supremacy thing will intensify again and that is never good. The getting your children disease free is always good though.

But one man's disease is another man's lifestyle. how would you feel is a fundamentalist (of any type) was the one who got to choose?

"yay! we fixed it so no more homosexuals!"
I'm not sure i see the value outweighing the dangers in any of it.
