Mary Baker Eddy the fondeer of Christian Science says: Is not the propagation of the human species a greater responsibility, a more solemn charge, than the culture of your garden or the raising of stock to increase your flocks and herds? Nothing unworthy of perpetuity should be transmitted to children. The formation of mortals must greatly improve to advance mankind. And this is what is happening. Now as with any tool, it can be misused, it is not Science or Technology, but the human ego-mind which commits the crime every time. Simply because a madman misuses and/or twists a scientific truth to their own warped and sick designs does not mean the science itself is wrong. I hope we will see every disease removed from the outset of every child's life.

you can distinguish between a male and a female sperm through a microscope.. so there are no embryos being wasted. Basically what your saying is I would rather live with a disability and for my family member to live with severe disability so Hitler is sad? MANY people have expectations for there little one and in MOST cases there is a gender preference. I myself have experienced this situation. Yet I wouldnt trade my little baby for the world. we where "hoping" for a playmate for the first then the second came long and wasnt the gender we where hoping it caused my wife severe depression and lack of a bond towards that child. so there is medical reason for this procedure. yet a higher power gives us these children for a reason it isnt for our simple minds to question but if there is a way to sway the results?

I find it to be extremely unethical. It's a slippery slope to creating designer babies, and the idea that you're creating all these embryos just to throw them in the trash because, oh, this one's a boy, this one has brown hair, this one has Turner syndrome (a condition I have), this one has Muscular dystrophy (a condition my nephew has)...it makes me ill to think people are throwing all those embryos away just because it doesn't match up exactly with what they want. I'm sure Hitler would be proud of these people for trying to create the perfect babies to fit in with their families. He'd probably think it was cool, too.
