I wouldn't.
The child wouldn't really be mine or my wife's if we chose his genetic code like we were ordering a salad from a salad bar.

YES...in a fukking heartbeat.

Obviously it wouldn't come cheap so this is all assuming i had the money to afford to get it done, but i wish it was possible today. I want to be able to have the smartest genetic base i can to start any of my future children off with. Couple that with being able to choose eggs at an egg bank and thats the game-changer right there. :win:

If everyone buys the "smart" gene, which doesn't exist because "intelligence" is a gigantic cluster of genes, then it would be normative. The only thing that would occur is the extinction of us non-enhanced folk.

Everyone should watch Gattaca

Intelligent people can make dumb decisions. Once you start playing God, you still have to account for free will, influence, and worldly interactions.

What good is the smartest kid ever gonna do you if he uses his potential on some Bernie Madoff shyt, and ends up doing life in prison?

Or becomes the next legit serial killer with his powers of deception/intellect...

Or just generally goes astray period?

Any man with true intelligence knows that he knows nothing at all...So aside from wanting certain physical features, you'd be a dumb fukk to invest well earned dollars into this bullshyt. :camby:














































































In other words, you dumb as shyt, boy :umad:

Im pretty sure the white man, your slave master, Esau the roaming albino gorilla already has this in its startup stages, so he can hurry up and get rid of you bush weed smoking, tap water drinking, funyon sustenance negros already so he can stop giving you crumbs to entertain him or innovate and elevate his economy.



Keep thinking young black men ending up with missing organs and the nikka-woman aborted fetuses being "kept" are just "something that be happening" while you're playing GTAV and smoking "loud", Mr. Negro.
