New Technology
I personally feel that people can do what they want with there own eggs and their own bodies, but I would only use this technology to see what kind of disease my baby is going to have. But I wouldn't want to kill the egg just because it had a disease, I would just want to be prepared for what was to come so I knew how to take care of my baby and keep them healthy. I feel that you should be happy with what baby you get when they are born, no matter if they have Tay Sachs, Downs Syndrome, boy, girl or have dark or light eyes. Using this technology to find out eye color and height seems kind of silly to me.

Shelley I agree with you on this. I think this process could be beneficial for any parents who want to better prepare themselves or their lifestyle for after the pregnancy. However, I'm sure people use this process for much different reasons which I think is ridiculous. Like you said, people can do what they want with their own eggs and their own bodies but that doesn't mean I would support their decision, or ever do the same. Although I do agree and I think this process could be used for something positive.
ReplyDeleteI also agree that this is a very personal decision but testing to select for hair or eye color preference seems contrary to what nature is all about. Should the embryo have some sort of disease that would result in a dramatically difficult quality of life for the child, then it should be up to the parents to decide which option to take.
ReplyDeleteI agree that determining the health of the child is important in order to prepare for a child. I know many people who were not prepared for their child's particular problem. I think that this technology could be used in stupid ways and therefore think that it should be regulated.
