# I don't mean it being cool
I'd choose to be blue rather than have a spinal injury.

# Narf!
I don't quite understand why the (bbc pic) rat's haemoglobin red doesn't show through the blue at all. I would expect the skin to be a mix between pink and blue.

# One of the side effects is all of its blood falls out.
They're calling it a 'teething problem'.

# yeh i thought that, must totally change the blood colour.
also: The skin colouring could last longer in humans, however, as our metabolism is about eight times slower. Sweet.

# Would break the ice at parties!
Just wait a couple of years before cosmetics companies figure out how to localise colour changes like that. Semi-permanent lipstick, eyeshadow, etc. People would buy it.

# ha yeh good point
and quite scary. All this talk of 'designer' babies, reminding everyone of WW2.

# "Designer babies" is a misleading term
It implies that the genetic changes are made only for aesthetic purposes (eye colour, hair, etc). If it's possible to delete/fix defective genes that would cause the child health trouble later in life, why not do it?
I'll have to stop myself here. It's one of the topics I tend to rant about :)
