My thought is as such, medicine as WE accept it, for the better of all human race, is trying to improve the life that that soul woke up into, nothing more. I am confident that these doctors will not be given anything more than they can offer, the immediate. My line would be crossed as soon as the ability will be available to pick a predisposed destination, simply based on what society deems right at that given time.
We are all for making simple malformations go away, be it disease, cleft lip, or spina bifida ...little things that can improve that person a chance to live a "normal" life.
But, the original question at hand here is....If I could choose to change the life of a son or daughter, to make them more sociably accepted, my answer would be, Hell No! Because no one on this big, blue spinning ball could say for any certainty, that they know what is right nor what is wrong, let fate decide the rest.
This is going to be common place in our lifetimes, I am certain. But when given the choice to decide anothers future based on social belief and social conditioning, we will certainly see a decline. Leave it to human beings to completely fuck up a perfectly good thing. Been doing it for years, and the rest is just history....
I guess it all comes down to quality of life. Is the said person happy, content, with themselves after the genius intervene with their outcome? Or would they never know what life had in store for them had they not been "treated"? This sword has two edges and both are just as sharp.
