If we continue to live in this cosy little world where no one dies of disease then we will become overpopulated (WE ALREADY ARE) What is that person thinking?

It is preferable to what is happening at present where medical science allows people with defective genes to survive and breed."<BR/><BR/>-History indicates we should tread very very carefully with the idea of optimising the human gene pool.<BR/><BR/>And the position against "designer babies" is not the straw man you make it out to be. Trish Grant Does not want to take a potentially healthy baby and make sure it stays diseased. She is against the idea of killing that baby, and then having another healthy child in it's place. <BR/><BR/>And this does send a message to those living with disablities. Many conditions allow the affected to live a healthy happy life. Do we really want to tell them that we think they're lives are too painful to be worth living?<BR/><BR/>You grotesquely oversimplify an ethical minefield.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-1154552000354572302006-08-03T08:53:00.000+12:002006-08-03T08:53:00.000+12:00Designer babies? a good idea, it will get defectiv...Designer babies? a good idea, it will get defective genes out of the human gene pool.
