What are your views on genetic counseling?

Question

Would you choose your baby's s*x, hair color, and eye color? What if you found out your baby had serious health risks and possible birth defects? What if the doctor was wrong?

Answer 1

I would like to know if my child had a life-threatening disease or a genetic disorder incompatible with life. I do not think that I could go through with the pregnancy if i knew my baby would die. I think it would be easier to mourn someone whom you didn't really know, than someone you have given birth to and held and loved so much.

As for s*x, hair and eye colour, does that really matter? Isn't a healthy baby the most important thing? That being said, my friend has four boys and is pregnant with her fifth and her husband said that's it no more kids even though they both really wanted a girl. So i guess it would be good if you could pick.  

Answer 2

The hair color, s*x, and eye color are genetic engineering. Yes I would want to know if my child had serious health risk or birth defects. That way I could do research and preparation before the birth. If the doctor was wrong I thank God every day that I had a healthy baby.
