Design your own baby! Options

I've heard about technology now where you can change the genes of a baby still in the womb of a pregnant woman to make it what you want it to look like. That seems kind of weird to me. Some might find it morally wrong because God created us all how he wanted us.

But then again, if you found out that your baby had a certain disorder or disease, wouldn't you want to fix that?

Do you find this right or wrong?

I watched a movie in science class about parents who were trying to make there child smart- a young Einstein. And another set who were aspring for there child to be tall.

As much as that sounds interesting, I think it is kind of wrong. You shouldn't mess with the nature of your child. Yes it would be cool- and probably make lots of money- if your child was a prodigy. But you should let your child be there own person and let nature take its part and see what your child would grow up to be on its own.

However on another note how people fix there children- if they have spina difida- I think that is okay. Not that it's torture or.. that your just doing to so your child won't get teased. But I would want my child to have a healthy life. If my child has Down's and I could fix it- without harming my baby- then I would do it. But I would NEVER terminate it or not love it just because of it. In fact when I get pregnant I would check for things- so I could be prepared. I guess it depends on the paerson or the situation.
