[@Kratesis] I think there's a huge amount of miscommunication between us. My fault probably. I should have been in bed awhile ago. I never said anything about ugly people, ever. [quote]But I never said I want them to be ugly.[/quote] [quote]No one said to make them ugly.[/quote] I never said [b]we[/b] as parents should make life difficult for our children either (I did say to not give them too much, though). I never suggested I'd take away freedoms or trip them and watch them fall. I said difficulties can be good. So while genetically helping them is good, there's also downsides to it. All I was saying was, making your baby (or anyone) conventionally attractive is not an inherent good because of a lot of factors. Maturity can be one. Character can be one. How they are perceived for good [b]or[/b] ill (in the scientific community for example like the article suggested). There's nothing to suggest that ensuring your kid is pretty will make them happier as an adult, because for every article I found that claims it, another claims it is the opposite.
