If the technology ever exists to discover whether a child will be gay or ugly or fat or short or stupid, I'm sure many people will choose to abort those fetuses too. It's going to be a huge issue of medical ethics. As we've seen in China and soon India, when people screw with Mother Nature, the consequences are dire. I don't have the answers, but I certainly don't want the right to abortion taken away on account of a certain percentage who will be determined to create some sort of master race of "perfect" humans that would make Hitler proud. As for the situation in China, I don't think people should be forced to carry a female fetus to term. There are already so many abandoned and neglected girls. Anyone who wants to abort a female fetus and is stopped by the government might very will kill, abuse or abandon the baby when it's born. I don't think any child should be born into that situation. As you can tell from my many posts on this topic, I find this whole issue to be utterly heartbreaking. What is happening in China and India is the ultimate manifestation of misogyny.

Or even a child who is gay? I see this as becoming a more and more controversial issue in the future with all of this advanced technology that we have.
