Conrad: It is simply not clear which traits or attributes are properly perceived as perfect or optimal. The decision about what trait or behavior is good or healthy depends upon the environment and circumstances that a child will face.  To pick traits, features, or attributes is simply promoting prejudice.   Why promote prejudice now when one of recent history’s goals in this country has been to do away with it?

 

 

 

Promethia: Certain traits such as “physical stamina, strength, speed, mathematical ability, dexterity, and acuity of vision” are related to health and are not considered extraneous traits.  The majority would definitely agree on all of the respective traits.  One could not be accused of abusing the system just because he wanted his child to never have to wear glasses and have straight teeth (Site 4).
