Genetically engineered to be a good soccer player

The problem for Schonfeld is that he seems to be suggesting that being genetically altered to be a good soccer player amounts to the same thing as genetically enhancing a child’s quickness and dexterity. An important point to make here is that, if parents wished to have there child genetically engineered to be a good soccer player, then it could be suggested that one of a range of genetic interventions that would be made to the child would be to give the child a love of soccer. This would of course mean the problem Schonfeld foresees due to Sarah not liking soccer would not occur. This is not to suggest this type of genetic intervention would be morally acceptable, if for no other than it would as I have said previously severely diminish the range of conceptions of the good life available to the child and thus breach the fiduciary relationship between the parent and the child.
