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.

    I keep going here despite wanting to be a non-political account because I feel stuff needs to be said. Anyway, no, I think picking out desirable traits and hating on those with “inferior” traits is what the Nazis did, and the Nazis are (obviously) bad. Maybe your uncle is, sadly, a Neo-Nazi? Or close to one?
