Why play the nature lottery when a child can be given vastly superior genes thanks to

I mean, why would I use a bicycle to travel 100 miles when faster, more efficient

it's natural or genetically engineered... so why not give it the best chances at a good
life ? If it's available, I say use it.

Nature gave us life and the means to improve on our condition: why stay
at our present level when so much more can be achieved ? Progress, man.
