| So, one thing got me to wondering because I was bored a few days ago. If you had the option to know your child's sexuality, physical and mental defects and so one, would you actually do so? If so, would you WANT to alter your child if you found out they were gay, had a heart problem or had a problem with their mind and so on? I guess the question of this thread is if you knew your child would have a stray genetic change, would you allow its genetic changes to be changed or would you accept that child regardless of its differences genetically? |

| Me being me, my answer would be an obvious no. 8| As I'm perfect, and altering anything perfect is imperfect. |
| Hello |
| I would change it if it affected them negatively but otherwise I'd leave them be. |
| If I had the resources and technology necessary to alter any imperfections in my future child available, I would of course use them. I would only correct physical and mental defects, though. Giving birth to a child with serious health issues or other problems when it could have been avoided is just wrong in my eyes. You're doing your child a huge disservice. |
| I would implant god tier anime taste into my child. |

| No, I wouldn't. Science isn't always the answer IMO. |

| Sexuality isn't determined at birth dear OP. Anyways, my answer would be NO unless the child would carry a deadly disease at birth. |

| If it's a boy I would alter him to not be bald. Because when he turns 18 and starts balding fast he will kill himself. BTW, sexuality is a mental, not genetic thing. |

| i think i wouldn't mind changing heart problems and general health problems that don't have anything to do with the mind. the tricky part is the mental one. there's a very thin line between saying one mental sickness is 'bad' enough to be allowed to get altered or not. and i think the discussion of even getting there would be exhausting and a long, long, long process. though honestly, as long as you don't change the way people think generally and use it for things such as schizophrenia i guess i'd be okay with that. maybe you could try looking up the mental health history of previous family members to see whether somebody is more likely to have 'issues' or not and whether they would have to get treated. i'm not sure how realistic that is though haha. i mean if there was a technique that would enable every human being to life without depression and self-hatred without any consequences then that'd be utopian basically. |

No, unless I knew they were going to have a short and painful life and I knew 100%. HOWEVER I would alter them if they were going to be a dirty fucking bigot. (thats sarcasm just in case someone takes me seriously) |

And also sir, please don't use excessive language and the swear word 'fuck'. Bad manners!! |

| Hello |
| Definitely would if it'd improve the childs quality of life. |
  |
| Yes. I'd make it one biblical beast man. 2 yards tall, massive muscles, iron fists, damn straight. Gonna send it to africa to wreck ISIS |
 |
| If it was a problem that would affect their life negatively, then yes. I would alter it; however, I would consult my spouse and take a long time to make the decision. I don't want my child being a perfect being, I just want to make sure the kid comes out fine. |
 |
| definitely dont see a reason not to |
lots of music -  |

 |
| Only if it would benefit their health. |
| i'd make them autistic and gay |
 ~ join the MAL suicide pact! ~ ~ ★☭★ ~ ~ embrace nuclear annihilation! ~ |
| If I knew my child was going to have a lot of problems, yes I most certainly would. If not then no. |
| Well, I would alter anything that can fuck up their life, yes. Like down syndrome, or having a third arm, or shit like that. I would not alter him or her "aesthetically". |

| Actually, I would alter his or her sexuality too. Completely 100% straight. I would like to know such specimen. |

| Yes if they were going to be born with some debilitating illness/defect. |
| Yes, why would I not want to give my offspring as many opportunities/advantages as possible? If you're going to forgo improving them, then why stop there? Poke a rusty fork in their eye while you're making things harder for them. |
| Kenjataimu mode status: 恒久 |
| Yeah I would |
| Sure, you gotta improve your race as much as you can. |
I luv u |

| Correct defects? increase future muscle strength and cognitive function yeah im not a backwards idiot who wouldn't.

It's not like the child is going to come out a robot or have any less of a unique personality if you just make them a little smarter and stronger. Like, if you have a normal kid, you're probably going to encourage them to study hard and stay active and shit. It's completely normal to want your kid to improve, so why would you wait until they're born to start? |
| Think about all the problems we could get rid of, asthma? skin conditions? if we get better at engineering we could stop potential cancer development and all sorts. Basically that new generation will be better humans in every regard and we will be the inferior previous evolution of humanity. Biological engineering will make the need of mechanical augments pointless. They will be able to adapt better, survive more, run faster, further with increased lung capacity, fight disease and infection the future is limitless. |

| Nah take a chance with the genetic dice. Maybe you'll have a one eye kid that'll be a badass like Date Masamune. If not, leave them to there devices to die at the whims of nature. |

I have no clue because I don't have any sources to back up my argument. And you're the last person I want to argue about this topic. |
