Sounds reasonable, except for the one sentence that exposes it as ideological wishful thinking: "Parents are likely to use genetic technologies in the best interests of their children." Never mind the fact that "best interests" is highly subjective in the first place. It's exactly because culture, ethics and morality are subjective that people fear all forms of genetic manipulation. And the rather naive "we're good and smart people here" spliced with subjective ideological views is not making a strong case. There is a lot of reason for fear. The question is how we deal with that fear. Pretending the fear unfounded when all we know from the entire history of how the human race leverages science and technology says otherwise isn't helping.
