My son the athlete

When your first child is born you wonder, what are they going to be like when they grow up. The typical American family wants a beautiful daughter, athletic son, intelligence. This is what scientists are still working on, to be able to fully design your child. If you want your baby to be smart they will be able to do that.

Having a baby is going to be like picking out furniture. "I'd like my son to be tall and athletic please." Since when did it become an option to choose who and what your child will be. You are in a sense taking away the individuality of your children. They will have no sense of self because when they find out they will always know in the back of their heads that they are meant to be something. They were designed to be something.

What if the procedure doesn't work? What if you paid to have your son to be athletic and they are not even able to walk without tripping over their own two feet? Will this change how you look at your son because they were a waste of your money? And when your son finds out that he isn't what you wanted will this change how he acts or looks toward you? All of these things need to be taken into consideration and they aren't. Parents are so worried about what they want their kids to grow up to be that they are willing to possibly destroy a child. They are willing to make their son/ daughter just like everyone else. Is being an athlete that important?
