Most parents would build there kids to be good athletes, or smart so they could become doctors, or lawers, etc. No one is going to build a kid to become a garbage man, or a ringer at a local stores cash register.
I feel that making designer people is a bad idea, however correcting life threatning, or destroying problems i have no issue with. The problem arises that when your fixing a birth defect whats to stop you from tossing in some stuff to make improvments else where. Theres no reason for someone to be born onto this planet just to go through hell with some shitty problem, but theres also no reason to "upgrade" a normal person.

You raise good points, but as I said before, Imagine what we could accomplish if people were GE. Of course there should be some guidelines that are enforced by law. Also, I am getting to a new topic by saying this but I read a projection that robots will start to be widely used to do basic household chores, etc within 10 years. Robots would be ideal for jobs such as garbage picking etc.
