How do you feel about designer babies? This topic stirs up the emotions of many, I don’t know why. Admitting to it or not, women have been “genetically engineering “ their babies forever. Most do it the cheap way, covertly. In the hood, this topic isn’t as unheard of, as many may want to believe.
I remember seeing my first born for the very first time after childbirth. I immediately got upset because I thought he should have been of a darker complexion. Now, that doesn’t mean I was disappointed as a mother but I was delusional in thinking of playing God. Mind you, I am adopted. Who knows what my own genetic pool consist of? I am an adoptee, there’s no way to predict anything beforehand. Plus, I am a “Designer Baby” myself, but that’s a whole different article. Anyway, I thought I had picked all of the physical traits that I wanted my children to have. So I was shocked, if anything was slightly off. For example, I said, “My son will need to be at least six feet tall.” So, I picked a man that was that height, etc. Whether, we realize this or not that’s an example of genetically designing babies on a cheaper level guys. Some say, “That’s shallow.” I say, “Whatever, that’s always been the cheap way of genetic engineering in the hood.”
Another example, let’s say a Black woman says, “I want my baby to have GOOD hair ” so subconsciously, she will make sure her child’s father has what the hood calls, pretty hair. Wake up people, this isn’t anything new. We just don’t pay it any mind. What about interracial couples? A lot of the women are doing the same thing, when they say, “I want my child to have darker skin (melanin).” Then, she has a child with a Black man. It’s no different. It’s just the cheapest way of doing it. Heck, we can all think of a group of women, worth billions, that have also done this. They’re actually doing it the way, it’s done in the hood. Yet, the biggest difference is their baby father’s are usually Famous Black men. What’s the difference? It’s still narrowing down to, women from all walks of life, genetically engineering. It’s still a Designer Baby. Rich or poor, lots of women do this, aware or not. But..Anyway, back to my experience…I’m not God, so I got a wake up call when I had my children. They’re gorgeous but Spirit reminded me, to get out of the way.
Now, whether Designer Babies are ethical or not, is on you. I will leave that to each, its own. That’s between you and Spirit. I love to say, “I would never.” But who knows what I’d do, if I could afford it. So I’m not stepping into that arena. You’ll have to take it up with Spirit, guys. I’m not about to be anyone’s God. Think for yourselves. I share my opinion on how I think because l choose to. Pray and seek Spirit for yourself. Listen to Spirit’s advice, take it from there. I wrote this to shed light on a topic I would like to hear discussed more… And, openly. Now to those women that don’t do this, I say, “Good for you”…but I’m willing to bet there are more women, that think like me, than don’t. Now, whether they admit it or not, is another story.
Anywhoo, I kept this short and sweet for a reason. Sure, it’s all superficial but we all know that the world we live in, is indeed, Superficial. That’s just life people. Back then, I thought I could design my children, boy was I so wrong. You live and learn. For the record, that child has a Butterscotch complexion and is six feet tall. So I’d say I came pretty darn close, huh? Just kidding, but I really did. Yet, I laugh at how, Mother Nature stepped in and said, “Girl, if you don’t go sit your ignorant butt down somewhere, I got this.” Things worked out just fine, I couldn’t have asked for more. “Won’t he do it?!”
Relax, I’m being cynical people. Breathe.
Keep Shining.
