What in the HELL....
quote:
In the future, when a couple wants to reproduce, “they will not make a baby in a bed or in the backseat or a car, or under a ‘Keep Off the Grass’ sign,” says Henry Greely, the director of the Center for Law and the Biosciences at Stanford Law School.
quote:
they will go to a clinic. Using stem cells from the couple’s skin or other non-reproductive organs, scientists will be able to make eggs and sperm, which will be combined into embryos. “Each of those embryos will have its own gene sequence,” Greely says. “The parents will be asked: ‘What do you want to know about these embryos?’ And they’ll be told.”
Want a QB.... Order one. WTH!
quote:
parents will be able to screen their potential kids for genetic abnormalities, pre-disposal to disease, sex, and even cosmetic features like hair, eye, and skin color, Greely claims. The new way of baby-making will save women the pain of going through fertility treatments, he says, and it will prevent disease, save health-care costs, and give non-traditional families more chances to have children.

Greely tells people about his theory—which is the subject of his 2016 book, The End of Sex and the Future of Human Reproduction—they tend to say, “‘This is Gattica,’ or ‘this is Brave New World,’”

Meh, if I'm reincarnated and am alive when that happens, I'll still do it the old fashioned way and have the pleasure of being surprised by what kind of baby I get.

This is precisely the premise of Gattaca.

And if the parents want to avoid any homo/trans tendencies?

I wonder if there will ever be a movement to make that illegal. You can spread diseases with exchanges of bodily fluids. Plus sex validates patriarchy.

The embryo selection process will be an easy way to weed out the weak and create a superior human. This concept sounds vaguely familiar.

Unless you eradicate men, you're not going to have an end to sex. We all know what we're looking most forward to with the robotics coming our way, and it's the sex robots.

This is a great idea. Instead of circumcisions,you could just give each new baby boy a vasectomy. Just think of the problems it would solve. No more teen pregnancy or absentee fathers. You'd still have sex, but without the worry. What's the down side? (Other than it seems weird to hand design your child....)

bet your arse going against it intentionally will be outlawed, or doctors wont be allowed to disclose THAT piece of info. Affirmative action will require x amount of gays be born.

Or worse scenario you have hookers/strippers to fall back on

Every time man wants to get involved and act like God we have trouble.
I remember when we were told we would end hunger by giving cows and chickens growth hormones and steroids to have more meat. That worked out really, really well.

Where does this say people won't have sex? It's argument is people won't actually have sex when intending to make a baby. Or are you one of those crazy religious nut jobs that only has sex when you want to make a baby?

You aren't married, are you?
My wife and I have a very healthy sex life...but many women reduce sex a LOT when they get married.
I knew a guy that said if he and his wife had sex a couple of times a year it was a miracle.

You didn't read the OP, did you?

But they can't come up with a decent product to keep my fricking hair from falling out
