create your ideal baby

[windboss]

I voted no because I want to be able to tell if my kid ends up looking like my wife's boss!  It's a scary thought that science could cover that up.

The idea of choosing features for your child is just absurd.  Parents shouldn't be so concerned with glamor and appearances and be more concerned with having healthy babies.  In my opinion all baby's are created different for a reason, and there all perfect in there own ways.

  This is the only baby I need !!! hahaha

[lameremusicale]

Oh no way... I believe that babies are born perfect. It's the same reason I don't believe in circumcision and my son is 100% intact. If it's not broken, don't fix it...

[mommagoes]

i voted no because i believe that many people would choose what is massively viewed as "attractive" traits and eventually our diverse country will start to morph into people who look very similar. the same theory goes  forthe rising popularity of plastic surgery. i trust in the natural process of creation and that we are all what we are supposed to be, and that includes how we look.

Wtf? They have designer BABIES now?

The world is seriously screwed up.

i'll stick to letting God decide

God makes good work:)

psalm 139

13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14  Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
15  You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
16  You saw me before I was born.
Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
before a single day had passed

Instead of create your ideal baby, I think there should be a test for ideal parents.  I am sorry, but some people really should not be able to have kids.  There are too many children out there being raised in broken homes, abused or abandoned - there really should be a test before people can conceive. 

[msjoyce21]

uhmmm.... it's up with the parents i think?

[dreamyxo]

If I had a baby I certainly wouldn't want it to have some of my features but I wouldn't mess with mother nature to change it.

It is a sad day for schools.  We have students who do not want to learn.  Teachers that are overstressed as well as parents.  Something has to change.  We bombard our students with thoughts about college and they do not have the basics down!

i agree with you 100%!!! i know a few people (some of which are my relatives) that have no business having kids. i seriously think there should be some kind of training and testing required before you're allowed to have kids. you need a license to drive, why not one to reproduce?

[Kymberli0529]

I agree with this because...

Wouldn't you like the chance to rid your future child of all cancer genes, trisomies, etc.?
I would.
I would've loved to know before my son or daughter was born that they'd never have to go through what I went through with cancer..or the numerous other family members that had the various cancers...or that they or their children wouldn't be affected by the Trisomy 13 that my sister was born with and eventually died from.  I would love to spare them that heartache.

I can't say that I would go as far as selecting their hair/eye color or size of nose, etc. but if it were strictly for genes and there was no adverse affect on the baby....I have to ask, Why the hell wouldn't you?

I don't want to hear anything about God or the like because I don't believe in all that bull.
I do agree with the person who said there should be a test of whether a person can be a parent 100% but to the person that said   "it should be what you get... thats life!"  If you had a 'Harlequin' baby, would that be your response?  That's life!  I doubt it.  Obviously, that's an extreme case but if something like that could be prevented..why wouldn't you prevent your child from suffering? 

[davidbankson]

i don't really believe in that :/ i mean.. isn't part of the fun seeing how they turn out? who they look more like and all of that? that's how it's supposed to be. you shouldn't get to CHOOSE. else god would've made the entire system differently ;p

I didn't realize I was supposed to base my morals on what is fun.

The same could be said about cars...if God intended us to have them, he would have created our legs differently, no?

Designer babies i hope not like  chihuahua fads or anything else thats hip and people get rid of them after the initial facisnation ends
