Yeah, I said it. I think as human beings, we’re pretty damnd arrogant. I think it boils down to the passage in the Bible where God put us in charge…and we took it to mean we should use the earth in whatever way we see fit for our own benefit.
I know, harsh much?
But honestly…I’ve realised in my time being a parent that taking care of something means putting it first, no matter what I might want. And when ut comes to the planet, we don’t.
We’ve got some messed up priorities, too…paying movie stars more than we pay doctors is a prime example.
So when it comes to genetic engineering…I think there is great potential in it…and once again, we’re screwing it up. Choosing gender? Please.Why not try to bring back some of the plant and animal life we’ve made extinct because it’s more important for there to be a few billion humans kicking around instead. 
But I have a bias when it comes to kids and gender. My entire family wants girls. When I was pregnant with boy #1, I might’ve chosen to have a girl…til I saw his lil face. When I had boy #4…people kept saying “you want a girl, right?” And truthfully, it didn’t matter. Healthy mattered.The idea of missing out on any of my kids….the beautiful boys they are…because I was hung up on their plumbing just underscores for me how screwed up humans are.

Heh…if you were talking about the psychology of it all, I thought you might bring up the family and their need for girls. You do have beautiful boys

See, I really think the Earth has a sort of pulse to it…and if I had 4 boys…there’s a reason…maybe we just don’t NEED girls right now…there’s enough of them.
Besides, I never need worry about my teen daughter coming home pregnant, which is a total plus I’d never have considered when preggers myself

Dayna-you may have a point there-there is a shortage of good men…and we certainly dont need anymore competition. Thank you for doing your part for all womankind.
LMAO

You know, that’s a good point. Why not use all that fabulous technology for OTHER things rather than catering to our need to control everything?
I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with technology. Why would this be any different? Hey RG! I did my part too!! Two boys, no girls and the Redneck got snipped.

Egads! 4 boys!!!
I said earlier that I’d have all boys for purely selfish reasons myself…combing all that hair is a beeatch. But, I wouldn’t change any of my kids for nothing in the world. They are exactly who and what God intended them to be.
But yes, I totally agree that human beings are soooo arrogant. And becauase of this one fact…we’re all going to face a serious wake up call one of these days. It might not be in my life time, but I sure see it happening.

A girl would have been cool.
But really, in the end, gender isn’t what matters most. If someone can’t handle the possibility of having a child of the “wrong” gender, they should adopt. Gods know there are plenty of children in need of it.
The people who told you that after your boy was born should be ashamed of themselves.

I’m recalling a line from Picco della Miranda, when God says to Adam, “I have placed you in the center of the world so that from there you may see what is in it.”
That, I believe, would be a better way to look at things. To know things rather than control them.
It’s our wish to control the things we barely understand that gets us in the most trouble.
