I am just waiting for the science to improve to where they identify the so called gay gene. I want to see what the gay activists will say if people abort a fetus that carries the gay gene.

"playing God" is irrelevant to non-believers;

"Playing QA inspector" seems a better description.

"slippery slope" is an insubstantial criticism that could equally well apply to virtually any new technology;

The author comments on the scope of the argument, but utterly fails to address it.

"commodification of human life" requires the unlikely claim that a child developed from a selected embryo is any less emotionally valued by its parents than a normally conceived child;

"Unlikely claim"? "Unlikely claim"??!! Seems blatently obvious which child is valued by these folks. Duh.

I'm looking for something a little more convincing than the standard arguments

No you're not. I think that much is clear.

He never was offering it. His original announcement was that he would begin offering it in 2010. Aren’t likely to be many takers anyway, since saner experts have loudly pointed out that the technology to do this reliably simply doesn’t exist yet.
