Ryuu, after my brother told me a very interesting (and incredibly complex and hilarious) story, it got me thinking about design children. I.E. children designed by their parent, in the current day and age this is not a fully perfect process and not commonly used, but Avali are a far more advanced race and they could possibly have perfected the craft of designing children, tailoring them before they are even conceived to be exactly how the parents want them.
for humans this raises ethical questions, but what about Avali? are they cool the parents customizing the height, feather color, health and fitness of the child or is this seen as taboo in some way due to their culture/evolution?
i'm assuming there are some that are going to be cool with it and some that aren't, like in your datalog's vegetarian/meat eater example, but i feel this is a bit more of an interesting subject that raises a bit harder of an ethical question than meat or not.
otherwise, what are you guys thoughts on it? do you think that if humans had the ability right now should couples be allowed to make a child the same you would make a sim only more advanced? (detailing facial structure, hair/eye/skin color, body build, hormone production and impact, hair growth etc.) and do you think Avali would use it?
