    This is an interesting article because it brings up the controversy of allowing parents to choose the traits they want in a child.

    I like this article as well, it is interesting to hear the controversy.
  •  
    I actually really found this article helpful on the debating aspect.
  •  
    This is actually scary to think about, if people are allowed to start picking gender or their babies, what if we end up with too many men, or maybe too many women? The idea sounds good in theory, but in reality I think it might end up causing a big mess.

    Great website! Focuses more on the scientific rather that ethical aspect. Good definitions of vocab associated with designer babies.

    Still trying to find a more broad article on the ethical aspect of the topic.

    I think that this article is pretty good. Could you imagine picking what your child was going to look like or act like! I think it's crazy.

    I could imagine it could be insane but even crazier if you could choose for your child to be talented in certain things like running or make them tall to be talented at sports like basketball.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gattaca This film was mentioned at one point during class, and I saw it back in high school; it pretty much shows how DNA and choosing your child's genes would influence human lifestyle. Good film and I recommend for anyone else doing this topic. Also notice the title.

    In my philosophy class we had a discussion on choosing your children's traits and talents. There were two articles by two authors who were on complete ends of the spectrum. One was all for it and couldn't see any bad in it. According to him it could be the way of the future! Scary.
