And because of this, there will be lawyers defeding and going against it. It will be a chaotic world. ONe side verses another side and oi. I hate to think about it. And we're in the middle of all of it!

don't you all think that you should just have kids and not choose the colour of they're eyes, who they'll look like.
ALL BECAUSE WE CAN DOEST MEAN WE SHOULD

We're talking about eradicating serious and widespread genetic illnesses...The eye colour example was just that, and example of how far some people would take things.

Those diseases are part of life, if the only way to fix them was to tamper with genetics, they were not meant to be fixed in the first place.

Aah, but would you be singing the same tune if your child was born with one? Say they were born with Cystic Fibrosis...and spent half of their life having gunk and mucus drained from their lungs, suffering...Wouldn't you think;
"Oh, I could have fixed this so simply"?
I know I would...I wouldn't want to see them suffer. But I suppose you could argue that letting them suffer is the most loving thing you could do, if you get me...

For illness purposes yes.
For the way they look, no, unless I knew they'd be horribly disfigured. Then yes.

Good point...For confidence reasons, adjusting big disfigurements might help them. Did anyone see that program about those kids? (I can't remeber quite what the disease was)...The bones in their faces grew at different speeds so the poor things ended up badly disfigured.

That's awful.
I'd hate that so much.
I agree with cosmetic surgery in those conditions.

The only thing that I found wrong in that movie is that they stated that beeing left-handed is a downfall and a perfect human being cannot be left-handed...That's weird, you know, I don't think that's an imperfection - just a variant...
Which makes me think...it's scary if some messed up homophobes go "correcting" people and making all of the next generation straight or something. Not sure if it's possible, but either way, all that shit would take uniqueness away from us, make us all alike. Playing God..

After they are born no tampering should be done with their genetics at all, so If I had already made the choice not to fix it I would probably feel awful about what happened, but messing with genetics is very wrong, before or after the child is born.

Wrong in your opinion.
I think it can be either. I'm not one to judge, I believe that if the child is disabled or whatever, and the parents want to, then I think they are right to.
I'm not saying I wouldn't accept a child with a disability or anything. One of my good friend's has got asbergers, but lemme see you, his parents say had they had the chance to "fix" him they would have done. It's not fair on him and it's not fair on his family. Because think about it, the parents are the ones who are going to have to deal with the disability, having to care for it and everything.

Personally...I would 'fix' my child if they were found to have a seious illness. Basically, its all very well saying I'd love them for who they were anyway (Which, obviously I would...) but how would they feel? It isn't going to be me coping with this life threataning, terminal, disfiguring disease or whatever.
They will have to have some kind of treatment for the rest of their lives, maybe even die young.
Also they may well be bullied by other children, and knowing I could have 'Made them normal' before they were born will perhaps make them feel resentful.

What about all the children who wont have the option to get fixed? This is going to cost an arm and a leg, children that "need" it wont be able to get it.
I hate using the word fix, its like we are refering to them as something broken. They arnt broken, they just wont be like everyone else, thats sad, but as of now its not preventable.

In my country we have the NHS...I know very few countries have free healthcare but in many years time, in the event of genetic modification becoming widespread, it will no doubt become available through the NHS to those who need it. So that isn't really an issue...

I highly doubt it will become avalible through there anytime soon, and it isnt a nessascary procedure.

I know that if I was born with a horrible disease and my parents hasn't "fixed" me because they said "they'd love me whatever" then I would resent them. I think that's a selfish reason personally.

Believe me, it will . It is a very necessary procedure. Eradicating the disease before birth will save years of expensive treatment...

Were you referring to me being selfish then?
But I too would probably resent my parents for not choosing to modify my genes...Like I said, It wouldn't be my parents living with a horrible illness for the rest of their lives, I'd be the one living and dealing with it every day.
I'm imperfected.
