What's the world coming to !

In a paper  my english teacher had us reading this week about Eugenics. To me this is a curse and a blessing all rapped into one. Eugenics is  the science of improving a human population by controlled breeding to increase the occurrence of desirable heritable characteristics. this could be a blessing because if the doctors find something wrong with a fetus they can try to go in and genetically fix the problem. But the major down side to this is the other genetic things that can be altered such as eye color, skin tone, hair type, and many other physical traits. It may seem like a good idea at first but then reality sets in and i begin to realize that they world is already so set in how they think a person should look, So i think making these alterations to the genetic code would make everybody crazy about their apperance. In the paper the Author made a good point about not getting to know what ur child would be like if you made these changes. The bond between the offspring and the parent could be damaged by   the lack of a genetic relationship. To think that there could be a piece of your child that is not connected to you or ur spouse is crazy. Another reason this is not a good idea is because of the cost, Although they say they would make it affordable the likelyhood that everyone would be able to affordable for everyone equally. It would make things even more divided because the wealthier parents would be able to afford it which would make the other kids feel incompetent. this would not only effect looks it could also change there abilities. It could make them more musically advanced or smarter or even more phsically fit than others.This would give them an unfair advantage in college and in sports. altogether i think if there is no real medical reason for the surgury it should not be done.
