I read once in a magazine called
Mental Floss that there is technology being created (or already created) that allows aspiring parents to pick out traits and build their perfect child. This seems immoral and horrible to me. This would only drive people to find "the perfect child", which is just sad. All children should be accepted for who they are, not matter what they look like. I once read that male children were killed if they did not resemble their father in the first stage of infancy when humans lived in tribes. Now people are trying to change their children to not even look like them. This only adds to the growing. materialistic nature of humans.
But there could be an upside. Perhaps the parents have a medical condition that could have been given to the child. If we have technology like this, could we create technology that would prevent the spreading of inheritable diseases or deformities? This would be an incredibly useful technology to have. Deaths from disease would decrease immensely!
