Blog 11 A Child's Traits

My opinion on whether or not parents should be able to pick the traits of their babies or not is no. It may be because i havent had to face the fears of having a disable child or faceing the fact that the child wouldnt be able to persue their dreams because of their traits. However, my opinion is still no the parents shouldnt be able to choose the traits of their child no matter how much they want their child to be the best. I think is should like in the movie for vincent, be left to fate. If parent were able to choose their childs trait it would change the view of the world by a lot. First of all it just doesnt seem natural to have a child with traits that were chosen no by chance or luck. The child may be young and not yet able to make desions for themselves but it is still a human and being able to pick how to make a child just doesnt seem humane. Everyone will end up the same and with no diversity since not many parents will choose a bad triat for their child. With that everything like the job types will change. With all the good traits all children will be able to get the job they want but the competition will increase since all of them have good traits. There wont be a middle class or higher class anymore with everyone the same. We would be increasing the problems in the daily like too, if parents were able to arrange the traits there would be a new super race of humans, and likely a higher risk that some people with bad ideas would try to take advantage of it to hurt or threat innocents. The human race is already powerful as it is, enough power to wreck the animal kingdom. Adding the super race would wreck even more of the world, we humans are already killing the world by our inventions.
