Except there's not. What are you gonna do about a third country allowing it and letting people abroad do it there?

It is eugenics for rich people. But with research it could be eugenics for everyone.

Personally, I'm not sure where i stand yet.

    Personally speaking as an agnostic person it disturbs me we are so quick to decide we will play God without having a long serious adult conversation about if we should play God.

    Pragmatically I agree it's going to happen because I know humanity too well but that said it's not something I would ever personally partake in at least at this current point in time.
