[quote=@Kratesis] I mentioned health but I didn't [i]just [/i]mention health Poohead. I don't see any reason to not select traits considered attractive by the society I currently live in because a person who is conventionally attractive has better life outcomes on average than someone who is unattractive. Thus I would also select for aesthetic traits so they would have the most options when selecting a partner and the best odds of enjoying a satisfying relationship. Aesthetics aren't just cosmetics in our society. On average physically attractive people make more money, are seen as more capable by their peers and have an easier time making friends. [/quote] That is well put. Again you child might be Taylor Swift randomly, the potential exists, so why not maximize it. Sure the child might have issues if aesthetic values change dramatically, or you move to another society which values different things but those risks would exist just as much for the random characteristics as the designed ones.
