I agree. You're going to see a lot of jealousy/envy when this technology is first rolled out. But what are people really going to do? Even if you ban the technology locally, people will just go overseas and get it done. And if you're going to make that an illegal offense and screen for all babies at airport terminals, what about immigration? Is the country really going to ban all immigrants from countries where the procedure is legal?
Once the genie is out of the bottle, people will realize they can only fight it for so long. At some point, people will realize that if you can't beat 'em, they might as well join 'em.
