First I asked Cindy and this is what she said
: " I strongly agree with genetic screening because in my opinion you will get a chance to design your perfect child! I think that if you have the chance to do it , to create your perfect child why not do it. I think also you will save a child the pain of having a mutation or some type of diesease.So that they won't have to go through the pain and suffering of a child with some sort of disability. Imagine a world were you wouldn't have kids with cancer that got passed down to them through genetics. A world were there would not be any children with problem or disability it would make life so much better so the kids that these unfortunate disabilities won't have to suffer any longer. That is why I am completly supporting genetic screening i think it is the best thing that has happened in the parenting world so far."
So Cindy was supporting genetic screening but then I asked my friend Joe for his opinion and he said the complete opposite.
This is what he said
: " I think they idea of changing your child to be who you want them to be is ridiculously stupid ! I completly disagree with it ! I think it's wrong and selfish! I think that a child is a gift and a blessing so you should love it how ever you get it , even if that means a baby with a disability. Each child should be loved and treated with respect no matter what they look like or no matter if they are normal or have a few problems. I think this is completely selfish of the parents because they are not accepting the wat their child has come but rather they are changing all these things about there babies to make them the way they want to. Also think if you were to have a world were all there was , was perfect babies there would be too much pressure for people to handle so it might just lead to corruption and chaos. This is why I am completely against genetic screening! "
so now we have Cindy who is supporting genetic screening and joe who is completely against it. What will my friend Angie say ?
This is what she had to say about it :
" I somewhat disagree with genetic screening it is I think a procedure that is very unethical. I believe it is rather unethical because if you design you'd child it's not really it's self any more it's what you designed it to be. It's not a human being who chooses it's on fate. It's a child who already has it's fate planned out it knows how it's most likely going die and when. There's no chance , with designer babies. But I must recognize that it is rather helpful for minor details about the baby like are they going to be left or right handed ? Or things like their height , but over all I think it's a some what bad idea to screen your babies. "
So after Angie I asked my good friend Donald and this is what he said :
"I believe genetic screening has it's pros and cons. I think I am at a position were I am 50-50 for it and against it. it has it's good and it has it's bad. I think it is a good idea for the following reason , I think if you could eliminate they chance of having some life-threatening disease why not spare the child some mercy and get rid of the mutations , disabilities or diseases. But I am against it when it comes to altering how your child looks. Your child should be unique not designed ! I think it's wrong to change anything about a beautiful little human being. That's why I am 50-50 for it and aganst it. "
And finally I asked my friend Alyssa and this is what she said :
I sort of agree with genetic screening but not completely. I think it's a good idea to be able to choose what your children look like. Because aren't they support to be a reflection of you ? So you should be able to shape them into what you and your spouse want. And I also agree that you should choose your child's personality for example the mothers sense of humour and the fathers charisma . But I disagree when you start to know things like your child's life span or most likely cause of death. So I mainly agree with genetic screening but not 100% . "
So that's what my friends had to say about that I think I agree with Alyssa the most though.
