This quote simply says it all.
'It runs the risk of turning procreation and parenting into an extension of the consumer society,' said Michael J. Sandel, a political philosopher at Harvard University. 'Sex selection is one step down the road to designer children, in which parents would choose not only the sex of their child but also conceivably the height, hair color, eye color, and ultimately, perhaps, IQ, athletic prowess and musical ability. It's troubling.'
