I seem to remember Germany doing something like this in the 1940's.

Not exactly. Germany AND America were involved in Eugenics.

Germany took it as far as killing deformed and mentally ill people.

AMERICA sterilized them.

What happens if this ""Designer"" child wasn't what you wanted?How can anyone improve on what God makes? should not be done.

It's already being done in an attempt to eradicate genetic diseases.

There is a huge amount of chance in creating a baby, with or without "designer" planning. I react very negatively to the idea of trying to create the "perfect" or "exceptional" child. What if your plan goes awry and the baby isn't as beautiful, bright, or talented as you paid to engineer? Will you be disappointed? Does that mean a less outstanding child will be valued and loved less?

No, I would never do this.

NO

I already have designer babies--one's an interior designer and one's a graphic designer!(Really!)

If I or my husband had a genetic predisposition to disease, I would either skip children or go the designer route.

I've seen attractive couples that had just okay looking children. Don't mess with nature.

That's so true.

Yes I would. Not for hair color, eyes, intelligence but for genetics. I have so many genetic mutations that reek havoc on my body, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. My two boys are suffering with the genetics they were dealt with.

Only for serious health reasons.
