What you do not realize memorytick, is that people aren't typically willing to adopt a handicap child. Not wanting a child to suffer is not selfish. It is thinking of the potential child, not themselves. i would regret killing my own child for the rest of my life, but would be okay with it, knowing that I prevented them a lifetime full of pain and suffering.

Well, I am not a female, so I can't really say whether I'd abort it. But, with the advances in genetics, it could soon be possible to tell if someone is predetermined to be a criminal, just by analyzing DNA...or have any of a number of diseases/conditions...or if they'd be tall...or if they are male or female. I guess one could abort their children till they got one they'd like.

But those advancements are so long away. Who knows will every kink and bug will be fixed... Right now everything is still in the Beta stages. That could take YEARS to perfect. I mean I don't think the would release this kind of technology without it being perfection. What if they screw up a kid? Plus a lot of people see this as a controversial topic and its gonna take a while for society to decide whether or not this kind of technology is okay or not.
I honestly don't see it being that far off. I mean, scientists have already made some corelations for certain genes and being a criminal. It is only a matter of time that this is available to test prenatally. I think that legislation will be put into place before this technology is made public, and I have no doubt that if it were heavily funded 10 years ago, we'd already have this bio-technology. The US has already passed laws making it illegal to discriminate someone based on their genetics. Although this was intended for the work force, it just shows that the technology is there to evaluate people on every aspects, genetically. My take on abortion is that in almost any circumstances, it truly is morally wrong, but that is according to MY morals. I do not think that it should be the job of the government to impose anyone's 'morals' onto the population nor is it their job to regulate what someone does to their body.

I would abort it. I'd want my child to live a normal, happy life and not have to worry about being made fun of. And if it was something that caused the child to require extra attention of any sort, I wouldn't be up to providing that.

Well its kinda like stem cell research. I support it but yes there are people who fight against it. I feel like its gonna take a while because society is very ignorant a lot of the times and its kinda like "everyone cares what everybody else thinks"
