...believe parents are morally obliged to genetically modify their children
Article Abstract:
As the ability to control the genetic makeup of our offspring becomes more advanced, parents are morally obliged to make these changes in order to benefit their children. It is argued that throughout human evolution we have chosen our mates for their positive qualities and the use of genetic engineering to remove possible tendencies towards illness or to enhance other physical attributes is only an extension of this.

Article Abstract:
