If you could pick a genetic gift for your child....

[jdoggg12]

What would you give them if you could choose? Assuming this is for an unborn child

Math

Science

Literature

Sports

Political Aptitude

Entertainment music/actiing/dance

Other



Of these choices. You get only 1 trait, and state why you picked what you did.

Examples of persons with a genetic gift:

Mozart, Bach, etc had the gift of entertainment
Wright brothers, Freud, Alexander Fleming (found penecillin) Science
George Washington, Hitler, Winston Churchill, Martin Luthor king had the gift of politics
Lance armstrong, Michael Jordon, Mohammed Ali Sports
Isaac Newton, Archimedes, Einstein Math
Shakespear, Socrates, Benjamin Franklin Literature

 

[Tiamat]

well, the child being in existance is enough of a genetic gift...

 

[Kalvin00]

to seduce any woman within seconds

 

[MyThirdEye]

Most likely I'd have my child be musically challanged.

 

[dug777]

I'd like him to be intelligent, sensitive, and mastodonically endowed, just like me

 

[b0mbrman]

To be brutally honest?

Race

 

[Kelemvor]

Sports. It's the most lucrative.

But I'd also choose something to have a very enhanced immune system so he/she never gets stick.

 

[amish]

male: sports
female: entertainment, and not THAT kind of entertainment you bastages

No need to be embarrassed about that, that's a good one.

I picked math, because it has served me well (along with general intelligence). I didn't get an advanced degree in mathematics, but the theoretical aspects of computer science are heavy on the math.

A bigger penis than the one I got...

Plus if you're good at math most of the science stuff comes along with it.

 

[Koing]

Sport.

<-- captain of the Track and Rugby team

 

[f1sh3r]

I'd pick Confidence. is that a legal choice? Being assertive is something I'm not, and I wish I was.

 

[erub]

Business acumen, ala Warren Buffet

 

[Parasitic]

Math.

I'm not good enough at math.
My son/daughter should be able to solve 2nd to 3rd order PDE's in their head correctly and within miliseconds.
That'd make their undergraduate/professional careers all the better.

 

[illusion88]

sports. No child of mine is going to be stupid, so I don't need any help there. I figure if he can be first string QB and in the top 5 of his class i'll be all set.

 

[Zenmervolt]

Logic.

I have it, it works in many situations and a capacity for logical, rational thought will carry a person far in this world.

FIXED

 

[yosuke188]

Depends on how great this genetic gift is. If sport means he gets paid $20 mil a year playing football when he grows up, then I would pick sport.

 

[Fenixgoon]

the ability to learn, know, and apply (like the pretender, and that show was based on an actual person with the same abilities).

edit: i like how no one picked politics yet

 

[WildHorse]

Lifelong perfect health in every way (physical, mental, emotional)

 

[Braznor]

I say give him the beef!!!!

 

[iversonyin]

entertainment biz...come on..they are MONEYYYYYY

Who is insane enough to pick POLITICS unless you are politician yourself.....

trust a snake over a politician.

 

[TheGizmo]

for a brain twice the size of mine.. then he could do all of the above.
