This slippery slope style of argument is absurd. One of the most common themes in choosing a mate is often related to someone's genetic predisposition to be like them. You can divide that up by race, height, what you're determining as a handicap, weight, etc. You shouldn't, though. That's the flip side of the same logic people use to abort babies with autism, mental retardation, etc.

I understand the religious displeasure with medically induced pregnancies (just a couple weeks ago my pastor for mother's day made multiple references to how test tube babies aren't really people, that you can't be a person without a mother and the Father), but using science to have a child more like you is not the same as surgically maiming children. Good grief.
