babies.

In the movie Gattaca parents were allowed to pick the traits of their babies, should we be able to do this? Why or why not?

I believe that we should not be able to pick the traits of our babies. There are many personal/ religious reasons why I believe this. I think that if we had the ability to make our babies look the way we wanted to, life would be in a sense, more boring. There is something about looking around and seeing a pretty person catch your eye. This would never happen, if we were able to pick the way our children looked. Everyone we know including ourselves would all be beautiful, making it a lot harder for anyone to catch your eye. I also  believe that after a certain point, everyone would start looking the same. Everyone might start having "blonde hair and blue eyes" or something that people would consider beautiful. This would get extremely boring, having everyone look the same. Another reason for my opinion, is that I believe that God makes us the way he wants us to. If we were able to pick our childrens traits, we would be taking over Gods job, which cant be good.
