Being a parent comes with great responsibility, It has always been my greatest dream when I was small to become a successful father to take care of my family and kids and also support everyone around me with the little help I can offer.
The greatest gift of families is children; children are like blessings to the family. That special feeling of having kids around you, the happiness and joy we get from it, makes it very special. I see some families struggle to have kids, and I really have sympathy for them because deep down in their minds, it is not an easy task.
Love is the bond that brings two different couples together, but based on marriage, there are limitations, like blood group, genes and several others. As far as a lady can conceive a baby, this shouldn't be a limitation for anyone.
Based on my perspective, if parents have the opportunity for gene modification, it will be a good trait and a successful approach, because of the way of approach, lifestyle, appearance or others also, back in the days this was used to differentiate a bastard child from a real child. The gene of a child has a significant influence from the parents because this can be transferred to the child's nature without them even knowing, which is why we must be observant of the way we live. Parents should be given the chance to modify children's genes because not all parental traits need to be followed; some are regarded as mistakes, which is why we need to be careful about how we do things around us.
Personally, I don't feel parents should give the chance to choose gifts for their children because this is the children's choice, we can educate the children on different things around that we need to be knowledgeable about and understand, but they get to choose which is their preferred part. However, this can help the child grow into become someone special but this shouldnt be forced on the children it should be a decision to be made by the kid. Educating the kids on different things around is a great idea. I have seen children who were trained in Music to become raw talent and still went for football, it's all a matter of passion and the decision of the kid.
Not all children's defects can be removed, some stay permanently and some can be amended with, I feel this shouldn't limit the talent of a child. Regardless of the defect, a child can still be a talented one in a specific act as long as he or she practices well. I have seen many special children perform better than the normal children. It is quite impossible to remove some children differently unless we want to cause pain to the child or take the life of this child.
There is no such thing as a perfect baby, but a baby can grow up to become a perfect man, and I feel it is ethical to genetically modify babies.
