I feel that abortion can be done because you might have been raped and don't really want to bring up the child for them. On the other hand, it is killing the baby that you might have wanted for a reason, such as no money when you can get benefits.

If you could choose whether to have a boy or a girl, would you? What if you could choose what color eyes and hair your baby has? According to a news report I read on [|ABCnews.com], Dr. Jeffrey Steinberg claims he will soon be able to help couples have “designer babies”. Now, before you get all excited, or angry, it’s important to note he has not done what he claims to be able to do yet. He has been able to help couples choose the gender of their baby, but the “little details”, like eye color, hair, and so on -- that remains to be accomplished. In the article, he’s quoted as saying he couldn’t promise a couple with 100% certainty that they’ll get their request, but with “80% certainty” he claims he could. READ MORE ON IT TODAY!!!!
 * ====Would you choose your child's traits, if you could?==== ||

The technology he says he’ll use is something called PGD, or pre-implantation genetic diagnosis. It’s usually used for couples with recurrent miscarriages, to prescreen the embryos. The embryos are tested for deadly genetic diseases, before they are transferred to the woman’s uterus. (It’s called pre-implantation, because the embryo is tested before it is transferred to the uterus and implants itself into the uterine lining.) PGD was never intended to be used for “fun”, however. (I’d say that choosing your child’s traits is, at best, a recreational activity – not a medical one.)

If you watch the video at ABCnews.com, and you don’t know what you’re looking at, I can see how you could easily get the wrong idea of how this may all work. I noticed in the video they showed pictures of a procedure called ICSIS -- where the sperm is directly injected into an unfertilized egg. (This is a treatment used for some cases of male infertility.) To be clear -- this wasn’t a video of “chosen genes” being inserted into an egg. That isn’t possible (yet). You couldn’t change the genetics of the embryos. What I think he’s claiming to be able to do is evaluate the genetic coding of a set of embryos, and pick one that fits the “request.” (Yes, that would mean throwing out the ones which didn’t fit the criteria. Not sure how I feel about that.)

Theoretically, let’s say a couple would come for IVF treatment, and request a brown-eyed, dark-haired baby. Let’s say that the mother and father have blue eyes and red hair, and so do their parents. Dr. Steinberg couldn’t provide this couple's request unless one of the embryos has this genetic code already, and the chances of having a child with brown eyes and dark hair, if the parents have blue eyes and red hair, is pretty slim.

So calling them “designer babies” is a stretch, no more than a marketing ploy. I think it’d be more accurate to call them “carefully selected embryos.” Of course, what to call them isn’t the main issue here. The big question everyone is asking is -- is this ethical? Is there something wrong with trying to choose your child’s traits, or even their gender?

GOD DONT LIKE UGLY I started this new book called "God Dont Like Ugly" i really dont know what i have gotten myself into from reading the back of the boy it seems to be about a stressed teenage girl trying to fit in and she meets this new friend that is everything she wants to be.

today i read about infants how they begin to form attachment. John Bowlby was a british psychoanalyst. he noticed the infants marks after the war. He informed us about observing the dire efffects on these infants, and the separation of parents. In our today world it is impossible for one to believe that a man can live up to the age of 150 years let alone 256 years. According to Time magazine and the New York Times that were published in the year 1933, there died a man whose age was 256 years. I am not sure if he was lucky to have lived up to this age or not.in his lifetime he buried 23 of his wives.

today i read about pubic hair and its affects on the body it protects the body against friction and also protects your sensitive areas from getting irratated.

her father left her mom and her mom won't tell her but she kind suspects somthing is going on because her mother is cr ying all the time and forcing her to do things.

====i read my bible today I believe that God is real and that is all that matters. If you want to believe in evolution, that is on you. I know that God made everything and I don't have to prove that to anyone. If you want prove, read Genesis chapter 1.==== ==== I read about listening and responding thoughtfully to others. Your supposed to listen to other group members to determine whether your group is accomplishing the appropriate group functions. Listen and respond to others to provide appropriate leadership. Listen and provide appropriate contributions to group meetings and problems- solving discussions. ==== ==== Credit cards are not always a good choice. Many people are not fully aware of the charges disclose. I came across a article today discussing the cons of credit cards. Had I read my agreement to my Captial One card I would have nerver swiped the card. So many intrestes rates I was not expecting. I suggest if any college student use a credit card its for "emergence" only. If possible always use debit or cash so you want have any regrets in the long run ====
