Conrad: One must think, though, of all the aspects of human life that people judge others by.� The recent media criticisms of society's continuous struggle with body shape serves as an example of eugenics that already exists. Not everyone can have a size two, 36C body. Some bodies are just not genetically programmed this way. What of the future of society in this respect, if genetically it only proliferated this body frame? Would a size 0, 38D be the ideal shape then? Genetic engineering in this sense only speeds up the process of eugenics in our society. We will always strive for something better, ends to which people may not even be able to reach despite human powers.

Promethia: If the US government, or any other government, were to use coercion, forced use of eugenics, the outcome may not be favorable. Fortunately, this is highly unlikely. On an individual level, there should be enough of an agreement about what traits are favorable and what constitutes as maintaining a healthy society. If government coercion is ruled out, then it can even be argued that parents should be free to pick the eye or hair color of their children. Any harmless characteristic could be an option for choice as long as the freedom of choice presumes no risk for the child and does not compromise the childs chance of maximizing the opportunities and challenges he or she might be faced with (Site 4).
