Homo Futurus: How Radically Should We Remake Ourselves - Or Our Children?

RJ Eskow of the Huffington Post illustrates the complexities of the ethical issues in emerging technologies when he notes that transforming one's own body is one issue, but it gets thornier when children are involved:

Should parents have the right o choose their baby's gender? How about its sexual preference? Intelligence? Physical appearance? And are these left/right questions?

Futurists see a conflict forming over our dominion over the human body, and over the choices we make about our biological future - and that of our children. Some call it a clash between "bioliberals" and "bioconservatives," and frame it as a debate over individual rights.

... there are no easy answers. There are, however, some very interesting questions.
