Should couples have the right to enhance their child by adding better genes to their genome? Why, or why not? ?

yeah i was reading about this chit last year n biology, we shouldnt be able to do this, next thing you know where going to have 9'11 laquisha walking around with muscles on her muscles, and can jump 110 feet in the air and outrun a effin cop car. lmaoShould couples have the right to enhance their child by adding better genes to their genome? Why, or why not? ?
That's a hard question... I mean, if your doctor told you that your child has sickle-cell anemia and the only way to fix it is altering the genome, then it's probably obvious that we'd go in there and fix it. But where should the line be drawn? Everyone wants a beautiful child, and maybe each parent will start altering genes to make a perfect kid... that could be a disaster. I mean, can you imagine living in a world where Heidi Klum looks like Rasputin? Then again, with 100% beautiful and healthy people maybe we could focus on other issues... but somehow I doubt it.
