yes but that wouldn't be any fun. yes we would have different personalities but we would all look the same! that is also taking away our individuality, adn that is another thing which makes us humans, humans! the way we are different and can coexist peacfully (not really but w/e). by taking that away you are taking away our way of life as we know it.
and about the army that would be cool in the short run but then they would notice what is happening and all the scientific literature horror stuff would come true. they would attack us saying that WE are not perfect and THEY are. so what then? I don't look forward to this future very much.

Okay. . . Seems like you have made a lot of baseless claims. First of all, the children wouldn't all look the same, because parents could choose what they looked like as well as personalities. Also, I recall a certain MLK Jr. once said that who you are as a person is determined not by what you look like, but how you act.
Second, supersoldiers are made to take orders. If they did notice they were created to fight and die, they wouldn't attack us.

well then everyone would be the same. that would get so boring adn then we'd just have a world of the same people. what makes our world and way of life great is that there are differences in everyone the looks and personalities.
one question though, how does dna effect personality?

It's pretty complicated, but I'm sure everything about you is determined by your DNA. Even personality.
I don't think everyone would be the same because not every parent would choose for their kid to look just like every other kid. What would they gain from that?

that's what I am saying though it wouldn't be fun. but yeah they wouldn't look the same but what parent wants their kid to be selfish, arrogant, or mean?

a few points here:
1. You would want a world where some people are selfish, arrogant, and mean?
2. Some parents might choose that.
3. Maybe kids would learn that on their own?
4. If all else fails, we could make it so that for every 2 good personality traits a parent chooses, they have to choose one bad. Sort of a "design your own kid" thing where you fill out a form like that. I don't know, it could work.

yeah that would be cool but then again I like it when you have a baby and you don't know what they are gonna look like or act like and it is a surprise.

Well, maybe in the future you could fill out the form and have your memory erased. Who knows?

Cloning is fine, I say go for it. But as with genetic engineering, they should watch out and not make mistakes.
