Designer babies are fine with me. If I could make a handsome, strong as an ape, genius, healthy baby, I'd do it! I'd do the same for me.

If there's a moral sticking point, for me it would be about the cost and privilege it assumes. We still have a very long ways to go before that is figured out...but if we have genius level babies, maybe they can do it for us.



I imagine if people selected for what society wants at a given time you'd have disasterous population level effects. Aren't animals bred to taste pretty messed up in a million other ways?
