That is the drawback. Say you have a baby made to order then you don't like it. Or, you treat it differently than its brothers and sisters because he/she is "special"... more perfect because of having been genetically altered. That is just plain wrong.

There is a special on CBS about a family that had a genetically altered baby (a baby with the exact blood and tissue types as their other sick child) so that they could use blood and tissue samples of that (full-term) child to help cure their sick child who has a very rare genetic disease. I don't see a problem with something like, because it is a life and death situation, the baby is being brought to term, and will be "extra special" for the right reason, not because of something as discriminatory as sex. I just think it is plain unethical to disciminate against people based on sex before they are even born.
