Genetics and it's moral implications

"They learn to associate topsy-turvydom with well-being; in fact they're only truly happy when they're standing on their heads." Mr. Foster Pg 17
Another shocking element of this book is the genetic creation of children. Imagining a world without parents or births or families is incredibly difficult but possibly not that far off. I'm not very studied in the field of genetics so I couldn't tell you exactly how close we are but considering we can clone sheep and other crazy stuff like that I can't imagine we're very far. It's kind of frightening to think of a world where everyone comes from a lab and you were genetically enhanced or hindered in order for you to fit properly into society. Never being able to choose your own life path seems almost cruel but at some points understandable. This whole genetics thing has its perks avoiding serious issues such as family problems that cause trauma to young impressionable minds, unintentional birth defects, susceptibility to serious illnesses, and much more. It also has the added perk of creating perfect workers for specific tasks and ensuring that ever present stability they so strive for. But that's just me playing devil's advocate. I honestly believe that if you mess around with nature and its processes too much its bound to come back around and bite you. Things function the way they do for a reason to preserve the balance I mentioned in  an earlier post but if you tamper with the process then you must make up for that. So when for one reason or another, such as alcohol being added to your blood surrogate on accident, when something goes wrong you must find a way to deal with it. In the book they do so by sending these people to islands but how long will that last? And what happens when the day comes when a "mutation" fights back? Also as my own little plug this element of the book really reminds me of the movie Gattaca. It's focussed solely on genetics and overcoming the adversity that comes with not being genetically engineered. You've probably already seen it since they normally show it in freshman biology, but if you haven't I highly suggest you see it. :)
