So they have a way for people to choose the sex of their child before it is born, some say it is not our right to do this, messing with God's will and all that.....I think personally it is not that horrible.
Any thoughts?

See just like the movie GATTACA those who are genetically created are superior therefore those of us created in the normal way God children if you will or genetic chance if you don't like the first are therefore inferior

and if you want to stave off the cast system thing you need to nuke a good portion of the east coast and a good chunk of cali, plus a few miles of florida

EXACTLY - Further separating the classes. It's not long before the US is just like a cast system, I'm telling you...

I don't like the idea of it, but we will get to it, it's obvious. As much as I'd love a son, I can't possibly choose the gender like that.

Plus, if we are able to choose the gender of our child, next we will be able to control other traits. Soon every child born will be multilingual, play a billion instruments, be tall and thin and have high IQ's. While this seems like a good thing, we must remember that it is our diversity that makes us so special. Think about it, with such a high level society, who would do all of those jobs that no one else wants to do? We would have a society full of doctors and lawyers, but no McDonald's workers or garbage men.


Exacty what i was going to say.

Yogore, men do develop "breast"-like things on their chest, and their ability to perform sexually takes a nasty turn for the worst.

It probably depends on the steroid to some extent. I don't doubt that it happens, but there are plenty of masculine men using steroids.
