Unfortunately, I wasn't sure where to put this...and I'm sorry if anyone is creeped out by the possible implications.

If you could select for certain traits in your children (and arguably many of us do, indirectly, when we select a partner), what would you prioritize? Intellect? Creativity? Health? Athletic ability? Height? Sense of humor?

I started thinking about this because of a show DH and I were watching on CNN (This is Life, with Lisa Ling) that specifically was talking about egg/sperm donation and especially the "genius" sperm bank (Center for Germinal Choice?) that was founded in the late '70's or so...which was born out of a creepy eugenicist pipedream, but still raises some interesting questions, I think.

If it helps, think about the question as if you were planning to use donor eggs/sperm...
