Re: Would you play God????

With the advances in modern medicine more and more genetic diseases are going to be diagnosed pre-natally. I find the whole idea that non-perfect babies, whatever that means, will not be allowed to be born. I myself am waiting to see if the Parkinson's I have is genetic...just in case I decide to have any children when I grow up.

All that said, as far as abortion is concerned I'm pro choice.

As for playing God, or as an atheist, as I see it cheating nature, I'm in favour of assisted suicides if properly legislated for. Indeed I have planned my own, in the event that in the future I have no independence, and am sat in a wheel chair, unable to speak, and am no longer shaking in time to the music in a nightclub somewhere.
