Then you are choosing your child to go down a path of suffering, and eventually becoming inferior to the rest of the human population.
According to your human mind.
It's simple logic. You would choose to purposefully create a child that is less that what it could have been. It would be like in an rpg if you are given random base stats, then a few points to put in any stat of your choosing, choosing not to use any.
Jesus wasn't genetically engineered. How did he turn out? ;)
I would go into further details but religion is not to be discussed on the forums.

Well, he was killed by jews, so obviously not very well.

Or, if you believe in the whole zombie thing, one could argue that he was "engineered" by god.

However, this has nothing to do with the topic. The leap from genetic engineering to Jesus is absurd.

Everybody physically dies eventually.
Anyways, I just do not believe you should change yourself in any way. I do fine in life, already. I love my looks, height, everything about me. Why shouldn't other people? I don't need to change anything about me to succeed or do better in life.

As long as they don't put *censored.2.0* in my veggie and fruits, I'm fine.

I disagree with the genetic engineering on humans. I'm leaving it at that because I'm tired.

I think you missed my point.

And that's fine, you can love who you are. Nothing wrong with that (And we can't do much to change anything now, other than plastic surgery, but that's only for looks). But why not give the next generation something more to love? It's not hurting anyone. What if a child is born without the use of their limbs? Why should they just love the way they are if their parents had the chance to fix it?

ummm we shouldn't on humans until we understand genetics more. We don't know soo many subtleties results could be tragic.

plants? sure, just again caution and testing.

bananas? those aren't genetically engineered the problem is genetic diversity. As in they don't have a lot

Saying I disagree is not enough. You should be able to backup your opinions or they're worthless.

Oh for sure we should wait. I'm not saying that we should just go out and mix around in our genetics until something happens. That would be no better than the lobotomies we used to perform. Once we have the technology and understanding, there should be no reason to limit ourselves.

Fender you have some valid points, but can you please look at my post on page 2? I'm too lazy to repeat myself. :P
