In the future people will be able to choose their children's looks?

Is it true that in the future people will be able to choose their children's looks before they are born ,, like blond hair ,, blue eyes ,, white skin??

god I hope so

yep

What?? Who told you that?? Of course NO

Human Genome Project, they've isolated genes that map eye and hair color, and all sorts of other codes that determine how your body develops.

byaaa

yeah my teacher told me that a while ago that theyre working on something like that like you get to choose your kids eye colors and everything...

Yes, it's quite possible that this will be doable in the future - through in-vitro DNA modification. The child would need to be conceived artificially (a 'test tube baby'), though.

Talk about taking the miracle out of child birth!

I think that would kill some of the magic. I mean you might be able to get rid of some bad things like deformities and genetic deseces, but to alter what your child will look like is to change too much. I like my children to look like they were born to. I didn't want a mini me or a blond hair blue eyes. I love my daughter anyway

jester_x: Well, it's not like anyone is going to _force_ you to do this. I imagine a lot of (most?) parents won't elect to, even when/if it's both commonplace and affordable.

well arachnid thats my opnoin. atleast I can think outside of what I've been told or taught.

I think it will be possible, but I don't think many people will do it. Most parents want carbon copies of themselves.

you can do that now-a-days, just get a girl/guy you like that has the skin color you want, there are millions to trillions of people out there, just have a look-see.

I really hope you're suggesting adoption, not abduction.

yes it's true, they're doing it now! People are able to pick which sex of the baby they prefer to have.

yes this is true and I am so happy.

yes this will happen but not soon modern science will change everything I read that not only colour of hair skin even you can choose a gender but only by testube baby process future human will be smart three times stronger than now.

I've heard that looks and brains come from the father's genes. Maybe it was a guy saying it ...
