Designer Babies

Hey folks, you want a baby with blonde hair & blue eyes?
Lucky for you, now you can have WHATEVER you want.
Are you kidding me?!?
Can't you scientists/geneticists/fertility specialists use your brains & money for Good, NOT EVIL?!?!
(i'm proud of myself, i never did rant about OCTOMOM)
Today I read on MSNBC about a Los Angeles fertility clinic that is offering a new service that will allow couples to choose their baby's physical traits. Trait-selection will be based on a technique called preimplantation genetic diagnosis, or PGD. This process has never been used for cosmetic purposes.
Hellooooo, ethical review boards....
.....time to DO your job!
Are people dumb enough to want this?
Apparently so.
Personally, I think it is so wrong.
Maybe it's because I already have my perfect blonde-haired, blue-eyed babe.
Honestly people, can't you just be happy with what you get?

I guess I would rather leave things up to God.
