With the advances in technology that has happened over the last 20, 10, 5 or even last year, parents are able to find out so much about their children before they are even born. Within a few years it seems that it is going to be possible to be able to genetically engineer a baby. Scientist are saying that they will be able to determine all sorts of traits. (Listen to a NPR report here.)
What do you think about designing your child or grandchild? What ethical concerns do you have genetically engineering a baby? How would it affect humanity if we could eliminate handicapped babies from being born? How does your spirituality affect the way that you view this issue?
