Re: Designer babies Lords give thumbs up

What exactly are you objecting to? That some of the embryeos will be destroyed? Well in that case you must object to all IVF treatments as only two or three of the resultant embryoes are actually used, the rest are also aborted.
Is it that a life is likely to be saved by this? If that's the case, then you should object to siblings giving blood or bone marrow to each other.
Is it that you think this is some how playing "god?" If so you need to do some more research and see that the embryoes are all natural with no modification.

Incog, if one of your kids had an incurable disease that could be saved by a genetic match with a sibling, would you love that sibling any less?
I don't think so.
