Then you believe God knows before hand that a child will be aborted. If so, I wonder... why would he create the human?
And by the way, every sperm has "potential." Human will is what dictates whether it has potential anymore. It is human will that destroys its potential through abstinence, just as it is human will that destroys an embryo's potential through abortion.

no, didn't read the essay. But I did want to make a reply on the thought.
I don't much like the idea that this technology is worse than old technology simply because the money on this technology could be used to help starving people. The money required to make automobiles could have been used to help needy people. Also, automobiles are among the most expensive items that even
average people buy, and wealthy people overbuy. As well, they pollute.
Making a "perfect human" is something good by nature. It makes a healthy person that won't starve or have problems that will end up needing more resources to fix. Also, it helps mankind as a whole by adding more intelligence and potential to the race.
I agree. Rich people waste money on things rather than helping people. Giving another thing for them to buy doesn't change their ideals, it's true. But, that measn there is no harm in it. And, rather than wasting money on a perfect child, the rich person could have been more destructive... like buying a bunch of drugs, or weapons, or something else. Either way, not buying the child wouldn't make the person any more likely to donate money.
