Removing a real parent from the birthing process is taking away a part of our society that has lasted from the beginning of time. Adoption agencies have always been around for those families who did not have the chance of having a child. Being able to play God and choose basically who your baby will be is unethical. You would be able to choose hair, eyes, and other physical body traits. All of this will continue until everyone has a perfect child. Short term benefits are numerous as are the negative long term affects of this unnatural phenomenon.
One of the most influential benefits to having these implanted embryos is that you would be able to end physically disabilities at birth. The embryos can be treated before they enter a woman’s womb so that they will be immunized and checked for any handicaps that could affect the overall health of the child. Parents want to have strong children that will stay healthy from birth to the end. It hurts parents to see a child struggle. Playing God would be able to eliminate the chance of having a child with a physical or mental disability.
One of the drawbacks to playing God is it takes out the natural aspect of child birth. Each child is different after they are born. There are similarities in everybody, but everyone is still different. I feel that parents want their children to make mistakes to learn from them. It builds better character. If these embryos are cloned to make everyone look alike, how can any on person stand out in a crowd? All children will grow up to be strong, beautiful millionaires if parents got what they really wanted. Our society is built on being able to adapt and to overcome obstacles. If every child is perfect because of carefully chosen embryos, then how can anybody be able to rise to their best?
A major negative in this whole process is the expense. Most common Americans do not have the kind of money to have an artificial child. And I believe that it will hurt parents to see someone else have this procedure done knowing that it could never be their fate. And who want to buy a baby? Children are supposed be your gift that you bring into this world, not something that spent a couple hundred thousand dollars on.
