During a scene in "Gattaca," Vincent's parents visited a doctor who specialized in child conception. Vincent's parents hoped to select the best possible traits for his future brother and therefore assure Vincent's brother would have the best possible chance for a successful life. Some of the specific traits mentioned in "Gattaca" included intelligence, height, and possibility of inherited disease.

If you decide to have a child one day and if you were given the opportunity to select for special traits, would you do so? Why or why not?
