Genetic coding, finding out your genes has any deficency, and the doctors says, you have 25% chance your child will have down syndrome, bore the baby?
IF there is genetic correction will you want to do it, that is not yet perfected?
will you want to create the best genes, for the baby, when doctors figure out the genetic codes?
boring a child is easy
even without a drill…

isn’t it only natural to want to create the best life for your child? which would include things like the best health. which good genes help a lot. plenty of studies have shown that we unconsciously select mates that we believe are healthier than the competition. this is to get the best genes for our offspring. so why not look for more ways to continue that goal? gene code away! smarter and healthier generations are to come forth instead of each subsequent one becoming sicklier and fatter like they currently are.
besides, nature aborts most any child with genetic problems. it recognizes that this is not how it should be and thus scraps the whole thing to try again another day. our bodies are still following the survival of the fittest despite many of our best efforts to keep these people alive. heck, i should not be alive today by these standards. i truly wish that my parents were given the option to correct my health problems.
although i’m glad they did not bore me either way.
If I knew my child would be retarded, I’d adopt.
Twenty-five percent sounds kinda risky. I’ll let you know what I do if it happens though.
if you agree to use genetic codes to create your perfect child, would you not agree sterlization of the low-class, criminals and retards, for the theory of survival to the fittest, and future humans will be strong, smart, less diseases.
yes and no.
i think it would be great if those that could not have healthy children or should not have children at all were to be sterilized. but it would have to be a choice of their own. i would never support a motion towards involuntarily doing this to a person. criminals are another situation. but i’m speaking about the general population. who would decide this?
No.
No death is okey.
These problems are a tesemony to science and religion alike that we need to change something.
I have thought out a problem that may be responcable for random mutations. If DNA isn’t properly supplied with the nutrients it needs, it may not work properly. One of these causes is known as free radicals. If some of the molecules have to many electrons or not enough, the chemical energy signature will be off. This can even cause random occurances of bondings. But DNA will not reproduce if there is free radicals, witch is known to increase the signs of ageing.
Alcaholism is in our gene’s. Random occurance??? Maybe, but it causes people to feel more natural with a drink in them,… and causes them to need more to feel a buzz. These are the exact side effects of building a tolerance to any drug. Why would DNA randomly be compatable with alcahol side effects???
Jeez, Dan a tad on the bad taste and ill mannered totally boorish and classless side isn’t that? Not only that, the two are way different subjects.
Your statement is highly offensive and designed to ignite a fight.
A retarded cousin gave birth to a daughter. That daughter is now a doctor.You will not necessarily pass that gene or syndrome on.
Criminals are generally highly intelligent survivors. Now why would you sterilize them? They just may be our best hope.
Low Class ? Dan I ought to kick you for that, consider yourself kicked squarely in the shin. If you don’t know why well then you need to think some more dear.
Here’s one:
Would a child be able to bear parents who were retarded? 
Hello teen-suicide. 
Oh Dan~ talk to Teens, most think their parents are retarded, among other choice things.
Kris,
if the teens think their parents are retarded, would not they will be retarded when they become a parent?
Dan, you ever try discussing logical thinking to hormonal teens? As parents we try to boost our kids egos, self esteems and their positive attitudes. Combine this with raging hormones and a common ailment of invicibility teens think that they wiser than their parents and smarter. We are talking average teen here. LOL it is normal. Tongue in cheek here Dan, but, with some truth. 
if kids will not listen then beat them, my parents beat me with a hangerchief.
Sometimes I would run and escape punishment. But now I just face it.
Teens don’t usually listen to their parents until something happens, I think it is call education.
Your parents still beat you? 
How old are you, anyways?
aren’t we all genetic defects?
Phaedrus, I think you missed an obvious question. What the hell is a hangerchief? And do I really want to know the answer?
Phaedrus, I think you have misinterpret.
If Phaedrus did, I did too Dan, and what exactly is a hangerchief?
[da…dat…tshhh]
How do you fit one-hundred babies in a bathtub?
Put them in a blender first.
How do you get them out?
Nachos.
