We were learning about this in school. I’d imagine the majority said they wouldn’t do this, but there’s definitely some who thinks it’s a good idea (like my uncle, ahem ahem).

But if you had the option to mess with genes and give you the “perfect” baby and you knew what they would look like beforehand, would you do it? You could give your child “desirable” traits while the children who don’t have those traits are inferior, or you could love your child considered “inferior” by society as they are.

    My uncle wants to do stuff genetically where the child is perfect, such as him hating the fact that I’m autistic and refusing to believe it. he also wants to genetically engineer a child that has no autism and is perfectly heterosexual, white, able-bodied, etc.
