Half fertility clinics allow parents to pick gender
How do you feel, hypothetically, about allowing couples to choose the characteristics - sex, hair colour, eye colour, height etc. - of their unborn child?
I don't know where to stand on this, morally. I can't see anything obviously unethical about it, but I do worry that it could eventually lead to a world populated by billions of Barbies and Kens...
...but is that a bad thing? For every child to be "designed" by their parents? Would it eliminate a lot of discrimination and prejudice?
I don't know, convince me one way or the other.
