They spend the first 18 years of their life growing, becoming a person, amusing you, frustrating you, and giving you so much that cannot be quantified in money.
If it was purely a cost equation, no-one would ever have one, true, but you are intentionally missing the point.

I don't give much thought to designer babies - some may go for it some may need it ... kids are kids and no one can say what a child will do as they grow or really design what they will turn out like .
yes sure you can have a child developed so that it has no inherited disease and then wow they get knocked by a car and end up n a wheel chair or worse... nothing is really designer lets face it we are not gods _________________ as a babe drinks from its mothers breast so too does man milk mother earth
Designer babies to avoid an inherited disease or similar is fine in my books but genetically choosing your childs hair/eye colour etc just for vanity is wrong.
My gorgeous daughter was born perfect with a slight heart problem. She wouldn't be who she is without it. If I'd known beforehand that she would have it would I have opted to change it?... probably not unless it was life threatening or would seriously compromise her quality of life.
There is a place for this kind of thing but it's very limited. Sadly there will be people out there who will abuse it :(
I saw this the other day on the news (wahay!) and the first thought i had was, "Yep, the governement will fund this for super soliders" which lets face it, is a very high possibility if they can eventually alter the gene's etc etc etc, supersoldiers galore! this is just a very elaborate way of saying "No no no no no, you can use it for your vanity, while we secretly create norsefire inducing soldiers" _________________ I give you, the Waffle King
We are all part of evolution (sorry God-sqaud but we are).
It's part of our basic DNA to constantly improve ourselves and evolve into the best possible human beings we can be.
Nature's plan is for the strongest to survive and the weak to die off. The more we try and remove ourselves from nature's original idea the more we keep coming back to it, so it would seem.
I don't care if they're designer or off the peg just so long as they're kept away from me.
Don't listen to Raymond. Actually he has a secret desire of having as many as possible. :)))) and all over him. _________________ Magic Is. That’s all, it just is. We don’t have to create it, we simply have to find it. But where do we look? Within, first, last and always; look within.
It would be nice just to get pregnant in the first place ( after a nasty ectopic leaving me with only a 70% of getting pregnant again) let alone a Designer baby
