Still Evolving?

Submitted by PS2007 on Sun, 10/07/2007 - 10:34pm.
I was really interested in the idea that humans are still evolving. A lot of other people have already touched on this, but I left the class thinking about what the humans of the future will look like. An idea that is really controversial is designer babies, or the idea that one day we will be able to pick and choose the best genes for our children. This seems to me like a kind of sped up evolutionary process. I don't really know how I feel about the idea of designer genes, but if we are ever able to actually do this it would be interesting to see what traits humans choose for their children and how we evolve when we have more control in the process.
