Designer Babies, brought to you buy Build-A-Baby, Inc.
« on: July 18, 2018, 04:39:51 PM »
I've read some stories floating around the past few days about the ethics of genetic modification. Here's a quick primer, but more in-depth articles from the past few days can be easily found:

https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/bioethics-council--gene-editing-human-embryos-conditionally-ok-64508

On the one hand, it's hard to argue that avoiding congenital defects and horrible diseases is anything but a good thing. On the other hand, I could see how this could lead to increased inequality, depending on scale.

What say ye?

We did not go to Build-A-Baby but this guy is about as designer as they come.  Levi came almost 2 weeks early via emergency c-section but is absolutely perfect.  Born Monday night at 6lb, 15oz. Mother is recovering nicely and all is good in the hood.  Both came home Thursday afternoon.

On the contrary, you created the perfect thread for this occasion.  It just required the right person to see the potential.

Thanks and that sounds like a great tribute.  I picked up some diapers and Prime brisket this morning and he will be getting baptized in the way and the truth tomorrow!
