I think the main concern here is that it looks like the technology involved COULD be used for manipulating the physical attributes of a baby. I realise that is theoretical though.

See that's the thing, my understanding is that the only part of this technology that could be used for manipulating the attributes of a baby is the detection of what genes are present and the implantation of embryoes into a womb.
No part of it could be used in actually changing the genes in any way.

the only thing that is involved is cryogenics. And therapy that helps the woman conceive a baby. I wish people would just stop jumping on me all the time as we are both getting fed up of it. I am not spurlting off infomation as I would lose my job, and I do not want to go and do that.

Ah so I misunderstood your previous posts then? I do appologise.

Its okay.

If you don't agree with this, then don't do it. Some people will be very glad that Lords have agreed to this. It's not about playing with genes or playing god. It's about loving parents wanting to keep their children in the best health they can, and giving the best life they can have for as long as possible.

Well as I said the consultant gave me the option to tell my partner when she woke up which I chose, nothing strange there.

I hinted some what sarcastically to the dunce smiley as you did in your post merely to make reference to you stating that if you could not understand it then nobody would, implying the opposite that we were all below your level of intelligence.

I will offer an olive branch and apologise for the lead comment in my original posting.

However the remarks about what she does etc were not from me either.

Again if you both found it harsh then I am sorry but this is an emotive subject and directly affects a lot of people me and yourselves and many others included.

Anyhows have enjoyed reading the views so far but will not be restrained like others in the opinions I hold.

Endof the day we all have an opions on the subjects concerned with some being closer to others like this very one.

Okay then I accept. Dont you think I do not dream of a little girl and wanting to dress her up in little dresses and doing girly things with her mum. It breaks my heart.
The good jobs me and Paul have do not fill the void we feel. I still would not do the designer baby thing even if I had a million pounds to do it. I do not care what some people think, that is there opinion and I do not really want to hear their Garb and it is Garb. Some people do not realise that these problems might raise their ugly heads in later life.

But you're not allowed to design a baby, nor with the current house of lords will you ever be likely to.

Apart from the fact we don't currently have the technology to do it.
