Designer Babies Are Teenagers Now

Hmmm . . .

  • Parents “who place too much importance on genes while ignoring the environment.”
  • “Distant parents—usually fathers—who hardly know their children.”
  • “A high value gets placed on achievement.”
  • Dads who are disappointed when it turns out they can’t predict human behavior. (“They probably can predict stocks, but human behavior has way too many variables.”)

Seems like these are topical parenting issues well beyond just families with designer babies. Perhaps the designer baby trend is more a symptom of something broader?
