Embryo Screening.

Embryo Screening to me seems very sick. People are enhancing embryos to advance children, to me this can't have no side effects, and of all things the child has no choice whether they want to be presumed advanced in health. This is supposed to make life easier on us, less sickness and such, I understand we only mean to make life easier, but realistically was life so difficult in the first place? My hypothesis is as a race we will begin to make everything so much easier that people will just become more and more lazy. Being a genetically perfect person will have positives, but with every positive a negative follows. This could cause more harm to ourselves than we think. This procedure also has a fail rate along with it being very expensive. Is it really worth the trouble? I can understand your child having a deadly disease and you wanting him/her healthy, but Embryo Screening for the sake of making a child healthier seems too big of a risk. I am against Embryo Screening for the wrong reasons, I can understand people with genetics showing cancer or some other deadly disease but just for making a baby healthier is too big of a risk and a waste of money. All of mankind will not die without this procedure, so we can live without it. These are the reasons I do not believe in Embryo Screening, why use something we don't actually need?

  1. Saying that embryo screening will "make life too easy" is a rather one-sided standpoint. Is life "too easy" for a cancer patient? Is it "too easy" for someone who's blind and will never see without stem cell treatment?

    I'm sorry, but refusing to accept something specifically because it will benefit you is both ignorant, and selfish to everyone else who will benefit from it.
