  However, critics contend that advocates of liberal eugenics assume that there are no morally relevant differences in the means parents take to try to shape their children. Such assumption seems questionable. For instance, the longer iterative process of educating a child enforces a kind of communicative engagement in ways that cannot be part of engineering an embryo (Malmqvist 2011). Indeed, arguably it is not just the means that are different (de Melo-Martín 2018). The goals of engineering an embryo –through selection or editing – and the goals of educating a child –in various ways – are similar only in appearance. While genetic selection or editing focuses on a particular trait, the emphasis of education or training is the whole person, with attention to the particular child’s personality, even if the aspect of interest –e.g., music or sport excellence – are the characteristic that parents aim to inculcate in their children.
