Another interesting point.
I don't think it's good that we make fruits and such without seeds. After all, that's how we are able to grow those fruits again.
But i do think there should be more liberty with how we grow fruits than how we grow children. In Japan they also make watermelons square to better stack up. I would hate to think of someone taking such liberties with the creation of children. Perhaps down the road a gay couple will want a child who is genetically engineered to by gay?? It certainly wouldn't end with controlling the gender, and perhaps we should ask the question of where the line would be drawn?

This brings up a related question about hybrid foods being grown and how it relates to...
