Quote by: Marconius I agree that genetic variability is a concern but I dont see how this is really much different than the way people use sperm banks today. Or how they choose their mates for that matter. People select for the traits they like every day and there hasnt been a problem so far. |
I'm not sure these sperm banks are that specific regarding the traits of the donor but still it's a crap shoot. The whole point is that this won't happen overnight but little by little certain traits will be weeded out and as shallow as most people are those traits will be all cosmetic.
Picture this, "I'm sorry, Mr and Mrs Einstein, your baby will be born one ugly little cuss. Would you like me to take care of that for you?"
Of course this raises another glaring question, but I'll leave that for someone else to pick up on.

I dont see everyone wanting to have blonde, blue eyed children do you? People have very differing ideas on what traits are the best. Because of these reasons I dont see it as a problem. But having said that, having a child that didnt really look like me would seem odd, I wouldnt do it.

YOU might be smart enough to not worry about your kid's future ability to get laid, but be honest, do you have THAT much faith in the general public?
