I will be the first in line when they start rolling out cybernetic augmentation, and instead of saving with retirement in mind, I save for when I will be able to clone my body, improve it with genetic augmentation, and replace my organic mind with a digital counterpart. I'm pretty futurist like that. So, for me, this is a no-brainer. If my son had down's syndrome in the womb, I would want to fix it. If my son had albinism and blindness in the womb, I would want it fixed. Asking a 10 year old if they want to change something about themselves is the dumbest metric for ethically validating a science I can think of. They think the entire world is full of possibility and that unicorns just haven't been photographed in a while.
