Debate, and Babies, and DNA, oh my! Response

Should parents be allowed to change their kids DNA? My vote is no. Definitely not. Not unless it’s the only way to cure a disease and even then it’s incredibly risky
REALLY want to determine exactly how your child looks, and all that jazz, you might be better off with in vitro fertilization.
Also, in the realm of opinion. I would think that deciding how your kid looks takes some of the fun and surprise out of all of it. Have you ever had a family member get pregnant? Be it an Aunt or a sibling, you always sit around wondering what your new cousin/niece/nephew will look like. “Will he/she look like Aunt____? or more like Uncle____? Will they like the same things I do? Will I get to babysit them?” etc. And I know from experience. My Aunt had a baby fairly recently and all we did for weeks before her daughter was born wondering about her, what she was gonna be like.



I agree with Mercedes when she said that she don’t thing parents should not be allowed to changed their babies DNA. I also disagree with her when she said they should only do it, if they only want to cure a disease, because most of the time the sickness, is not that bad, then people try to do something on their body and it really end up damaging their children life for ever. In this debates she only talks about her opinion, and the facts, she only talk about her feelings toward the issues and, she did not go unlined to do a real research on it. At the end she said people should guess how their baby going to turned out, is not everyone who is pregnant want to be guessing how their baby is going to look like, or how their smile and everything else their baby is going to have when its born.I also agree with her when she said if a parent already know how their child look like it will take away all the fun out of it.
