The fall of man shall come from trying to become God. When man starts to tamper with such fragile things as life and it's creation, a natural balance gets thrown off. Have you ever wondered why up until now we didn't have a choice as to what our baby's sex would be. It's because we're not supposed to make that decision. The problem with technology and people now a days is that everybody wants to be in control of every aspect of their life. I'm not talking about where people live, or what they choose to do with their lives, but instead, I'm talking about things that we should have no say so in, such as this topic at hand.

What percentage of Americans would like to have a little girl instead of a little boy? What are the statistics when you change it around and ask how many want a little boy. There's a reason that people haven't been able to make that choice. The problem with allowing people to make choices such as this is that they don't know what the right choice is. People may know that they want a boy or a girl, but they don't know what the world needs them to have in order for the world to continue.



Just because somebody has found a way to alter a major part of the world, doesn't mean that it should be. What happens if 90% of Americans all want girls. What does the future hold for us then? Tens of thousands of families would end with that girl, because girls can't reproduce with other girls, and when you talking on the scale of an entire nation, outnumbering a certain sex will only end in humanity slowly dwindling away.

Don't get me wrong, the idea sounds wonderful. It gives you more control over your life and what you want in it, but that's the ideology that certain forces want you to adopt. Every one that reads this knows that everything that has a beginning, must have an end, and that includes this planet we live on too. You may not believe in God, or may be a devout Christian, but either way, you know that the world today is nothing like it was 50 years ago, or even 20 years ago. You also know that it's changed for the worse. Everybody can see the world starting to decay, and knows, whether they accept it or not, that the world is nearing it's end, at a very rapid rate. You don't have to believe me to know that what I say is true, you can feel it. There's a natural connection with the Earth that all living things share, and we can all feel it, no matter how much we tell ourselves that it isn't real or that God doesn't exist. Every one knows that our end is near, the question is, are we just going to continue to accelerate the rate in which we all meet our end.
