This is just the first step in a long process...and I have no doubt it will go way too far.

It gives me great pause to read this and really, I think that more of society will choose to decide the sex of their child or determine their traits than wouldn't. We are a designer society who like to be on the cutting edge of life and until recently, would spend vast amounts of money on hardly anything at all....and this might come again sooner than we all think!

Ethically doctors have already crossed lines that as a society we probably wouldn't want them to. You're right though, most people wouldn't go through the process, but there's always one in every crowd.
