Re: Designer Babies: A Question of Ethics and Morality

Thank you Ice Queen. I'm glad to see there is someone with common sense here. Ah, yes, the arrogance of calling your position "common sense". I'm sure you know the meaning behind "survival of the fittest"? Yes, I know a relatively fair amount about evolution. You see Fallacy, su...

Re: Designer Babies: A Question of Ethics and Morality

That's what people are to you? Like food or technology? These don't compare at all. I think they do. We've already "tampered with" nature so much already; and humans aren't exempt (medicine? Implants?) "Designer babies" could just be one of the next steps. Like I said earlier, i...

Re: Designer Babies: A Question of Ethics and Morality

Personally, I just think its a bad idea to mess around with nature. Trying to control life, such a complicated and intricate thing... I think it's arrogant to think that we can control something like that and the whole thing will have negative consequences. And trying to "create" a beauti...

Re: Designer Babies: A Question of Ethics and Morality

I'm not talking about birth defects. Preventing those is fine, but no, I don't want ayone changing how I look. I turn out how I turn out. If I end up good looking then that's fine. If I don't then that's fine too. I just don't want someone sculpting me to their idea of their perfect child. Well, th...

Re: Designer Babies: A Question of Ethics and Morality

I think its kinda compared to the over controlling parent that tries to force their kid to grow up a certain way, play a certain sport, go to a certan school, or get a certain job. Now parents are decide not just what there children do, but what they look like and majorly who they become. Frankly, ...

Re: Designer Babies: A Question of Ethics and Morality

Simple Fallacy, people measurements of beauty are often changing and thus not a good way to design child. This argument actually has some merit, but the same thing can be said for tattoos. I say screw what other people think. Because once you designed them as such, you can't undo it, Plastic surger...

Re: Designer Babies: A Question of Ethics and Morality

Agreed. Eugenics is NOT a bad idea. I say that again, for those of you in shock- it ISN'T. Just like physics isn't bad just because its discovery allows nuclear weapons. Racist/Nazi eugenics, though? Yes, that's pretty damn stupid. I agree with this, but it's something we have to be very careful wi...

Re: Designer Babies: A Question of Ethics and Morality

I think the site is stupid, but I don't actually have a problem with the concept of designer babies. For instance, if we develop technology in the near future that allow expectant mothers to selectively choose traits and genes she wants her child to have, I'm all for that. I mean, why not? What's th...

Re: PETA: Misguided, Insane or Completely Right?

I don't know about illegal activities, but PETA bought a 9,370.00 walk-in freezer about 10ft by 15ft. A freezer that big is generally used for one of two things, meat which PETA wouldn't be caught dead with, or cadavers (aka dead bodies). Now here's a quote by the head of PETA, "Sometimes theo...

I saw on the Kids portion of the PETA.org website a couple years back, an article about how MARS candy tests on animals. How are you going to put that on a KIDS portion of the website? Information is vital, but that is brutal to put up for kids.... The world isn't rose gardens and lollipops. If Mar...
