If a company developed a way to modify a person’s DNA to guarantee certain attributes in offspring, should that company be forced to make their technology available to everyone who wanted it? What are some of the ramifications of widespread use of this type of genetic engineering technology on humankind?

I need someones opinion on this.. Please help, thanks :).

The attributes desired by the "parent" (DNA supplier), may not be those that are most advantageous for the survival of the species. This would minimize the amount of variation in the gene pool, making the species too homogentic, making it less likely to survive at species sustaining levels of breeding pairs should some natural disease prove especially virulent to the current "favorite" humanoid type. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120621180310AAGHcKs
