Today I’ve got this Issue on my Nationstates (nationstates.net)
Buy A Better Baby?
A top fertility clinic has recently announced a new service allowing parents to create so-called ‘designer babies’.
I’ve encountered with many choices
1. “Embryo selection isn’t really genetic engineering in the technical sense,” explains Dr. Randy Neumann, owner of the Babies-2-Go Clinic. “It’s more like being able to have a dozen abortions per month until you get the foetus you desire. I can’t really see what’s wrong with parents who can afford it being able to eliminate foetuses with undesirable genetic traits – like stupidity.”
2. “Thou shalt pay for thy sins!” screams Stephanie Sanchez, waving a crucifix. “This is just meddling with the sanctity of life. If these children are to be born with horrible defects then it’s God’s will and who are we to question it? This technology must be banned at once!”
3. “This technology shows promise,” muses Lars Parke, Minister of Health. “But we can’t trust the private sector with the future of our nation’s children. We must place it under strict government regulation, so that we only screen out embryos with serious genetic conditions.”
4. “This has got me thinkin’,” says General Marleen Dodinas, thumbing through a big folder marked ‘X’. “If this technology lets us reduce genetic defects, then couldn’t it work the other way? We could create ourselves an army of genetically superior soldiers! With our army of Super Soldiers, no nation would dare stand in our way!”
5. Dismiss the issue

Option 3 sounds nice so I choose it.

In result, my nation get a boost of this qualities.

Nice post. I learn something totally new and challenging on websites I stumbleupon everyday.
It will always be useful to read content from other authors and use something from their websites.
