It's time for my two cents (at least I think so).

I'm wondering about the long term effects of attempting to produce
smart babies.  Do they grow up to be smart kids? ...smart adults?

I guess it seems to me that kids learn most all of what is available
at a time when it is "right" for the particular kid to learn it.  It
may be possible to "teach" things to children earlier but what is the
true effect?  Are patterns of thought and logic taught or is it just facts?
What is the point?  Will it make the parents happier or the kids?

No answers, just questions.
