    I was thinking so sometimes people in life feel something in there life isn't right. For people who have a sex change its their gender. I don't want to sound silly but what if people "design" babies choose a sex an in in doing so creates an issue where someone feels like they aren't who they are supposed to be?if I wasn't the withdrawn, quiet, shy guy that I am, I don't know if I would have grown as a person as much as I have and if I would be happy with what I may have becomeLT26i, GrassCity App [​IMG]
     
  2. Wait so you're saying that there's people controlling baby genes? And that when they design them incorrectly, there becomes an incompleteness in the baby?

I was thinking more affecting things like personality even physical traits I mean they all play a part in the experience we call life. I also think when people overcome adversaries that it can leave them with a greater outlook on life, sometimes it's not till something bad happens that people start to live so looking at it like that it brings up some complicated feelings[​IMG]
     
  4. They already have the technology to genetically modify people but it's against the law. A lot of people aren't down for "playing God"
