A Brave New World
This fictional story, set in a futuristic time, is actually not that far away. In a matter of decades, our technology will most likely be capable of this, and someone out there will have to decide if it is moral or not. The problem comes when making this decision. A vision of "perfect" is different in almost everyone's eyes. This vision will be decided upon by one individual who might not have the same views as the world around him. This will be the most obvious downfall and obstacle in this process.
Another problem is that although it could be called "utopia", the citizens have no real freedom. They will not be able to move up in the world, and will always be either mediocre or "super human." So in the end, this type of technology falls into the very "iffy" category of either helping life or creating life. We can choose to help current and future generations from illness, or we can choose to create a completely fake world, with fake people. Only time will tell what we will decide to use our technology for, and hopefully we will choose the right one.
