You and your spouse want to have a child. You both decide it would be nice to have a son to carry out the family name seeing as how you only plan on having one child. You decide that you want your son to be a genius, you do not care about if he is athletic and you do not want him to be one of those pompus teenagers who thinks he is better than anyone else because of looks and abilities. So you go to a doctor and pay to create your child the way you want him to be. You decide on him being smart and try to give him features that would not make him extremely attractive to most people. The mother has red hair so they give the son red hair and freckles and don't make it a point to make him athletic.
Fast foward 18 or 19 years into the future. This same family who paid to have certain qualites in their child got nothing that they asked for. Their son has blonde hair and blue eyes, he is tall and athletic and has a very basic IQ. The son that they raised is arrogant and feels entitled to everything, which is exactly what they did not want. Imagine this happened to you now. How do you feel about your own child? Are you happy he is healthy and might find success in a way you didn't imagine? Or do you hate this kid because he is not what you wanted and you resent every second you have spent with your child? Was paying to create the perfect son really worth it?
