In my opinion, when my child is at the age to where he or she wishes to be involved in school activities or other recreational opprotunities, they should be able to play the sports they want to. Now, I'm not trying to start a huge debate. The point that I am emphasize to the Government and certain adults, is that their child should have the right to do what ever the their dreams tell them they should do. When I was growing up, I wanted to play football, baseball, basketball, etc... Even though I was not the best athlete on the team, nor was I physically fit or ready for the training aspect, those sports made me who I am today. I am not going to go into anymore details. But if one of you adults are reading this particular article, take your childs interests into consideration. Thank you.

I do not understand why you say that when to run the test is a bigger test since DNA remains unchanged throughout life.

It seems to me a bit like Jurassic Park, just because you can do a thing does not necessarily mean that you should. Not that people will be bitten in half by T-Rexes while they are sitting on a toilet or anything...

But to look at things from a moral perspective, in the Disney movie Brother Bear, the main character Kenai was told that his totem was the bear of love. Anyways, when Kenai got his Totem, he thought it should be something more fierce or strong, like he was (or he thought he was), but the totem that the elder gave him was not designed to reinforce one of his perceived strengths, but to assist him in an area of life where he was lacking.

Anyways, I was on a swim team where the people on the team were really great swimmers, but I could outrun any of them! Similarly, there were probably few among them who could beat me at tennis or baseball.

My point is, is the point of athletics to turn little kids into prideful, dominating athletes who single-mindedly try to excel at one sport, and end up as college athletes and afterwards go out and try to get a job based on what little education they were able to get in college while they were spending most of their efforts on sports?

Or, is the point of athletics to strengthen a child in an area where they may be weaker, to teach the value of competition and fair play and humility, and the value of being part of a team?

Although peeps like Michael Phelps probably have a good life...

I believe that it should not be right or ok that the parent goes out to find out what there very child could be involved in when they get older. Because what if the child would like to surprise you later on in the future. And the parent could go out and spend the money on something else because this is not important this is taking away this child privacy.
