Jesus Christ man! Stop being a freaking count and do baby making the way you're supposed to. Stop with the designer baby b.s. What if the donor has all that and forgets to mention it.

I must say I've beens surprised and taken aback by the veracity of the responses to this topic. I didn't think this topic would cause that.

I do want to ask what you have against screening against hereditary defects? Obviously I assume any donor sperm would be well screened and we would be informed before the process of the donor has any hereditary conditions for full disclosure.

Honestly while I know a lot are against the designer baby stuff, I'm someone who honestly isn't. If you can design a baby to be intelligent and kind and not have genetic disease risk factors and have attributes you like (everyone will have different attributes they like) I honestly think it's a good thing.

The only negative in my mind to designer babies is that it would of course be insanely expensive and only available to the rich. I can understand that would then mean babies of rich people would have an advantage from the start. But newsflash, that's already the case, they already have an advantage from the start.

If the availability of designer babies was available to most of the public I would honestly be 100% supportive of it.
