Perfection-obsessed reproductive culture directly threatens those who don't fit the mold [contrarian]

As the strong men and well women have grown ever more entangled, and ever more ambitious in their goals, I have felt a mounting foreboding about what their cookie-cutter version of perfection will mean to the countless people who fall outside their embrace. I have also felt a more personal sense of menace. Because in this obsession with pure children and perfected bodies, I hear an unmistakable, if implicit, attack on my own child.

SEED: Could explore the cultural implications of narrow genetic/enhancement ideals on real families.
