Many of the risks from evolutionary engineering are triggered by bad parental decision-making. Eager to give their children social advantages, parents may make reproductive decisions based on faulty or incomplete genetic information, or seek genetic alteration of their offspring before adequate safety testing has been carried out.
进化工程的许多风险是由父母决策触发的。父母亲急切地希望孩子能获得社会优势，以至于可能凭借错误或不完全遗传信息做出生殖决定，或是在尚未做足安全测试的情况下后代的基因突变。
