1. Good question, but how to defined a perfect life? and, why my kid but not me? haha!

   • Hmm… we don’t know how to define a perfect life… I assume its the ability to achieve everything you want… I don’t know why it’s targeted to a newborn only… The question was debated in the show… but my thoughts is that it might be asking “how far will you want to control you child’s life?” and “educating style”.

     On the other hand, I was thinking, maybe a perfect life do need some foundation in the early years? lol

2. I don’t have any children either, but if I did I don’t think so. A perfect life for whom? The guy who designed the button? What if it turns the baby into a frog or a tree. There has to be a catch.

     • I have an opinion about it in the abstract sense but I’m not a parent so my opinion is utterly worthless…

4. Hm..my mind says no..but my mother’s heart says yes.Everyone wants the best for his child.

   • Yes, I know you’d have…
     I hope there are other buttons that someone pressed for you…
     that you’ll be happy

     • How kind of you to say, I thank that has been the case.

6. My soul would press the button, because I think all people dream to have a happy lucky life, and wish it for their children, but my brain would not press it because a child (and also when he/she grows up) will never value the ideal life, the perfect life can be too dull! Life should consist of achieving the goals, sometimes winning, sometimes losing. The more victories the better but failures also can occur and they teach us something…

   • Hmm… I agree with your point and I did get to that conclusion too… but since his life is perfect, could it be rid of boredom? Will it be filled with happiness? What if its so perfect he did not need to learn from failures?

     Lol, of course these are just hypothetical. But just fun to think about :p

     • According to your logic excellence is perfect in everything. It will be a ideal person!!! But all people around will be not as ideal as he. What would he feel surrounded by imperfect people?
       Really a fun to think about it!

       • Hmm… interesting thought!!! You surprised me!!

         Back to the question, He might either feel superior or really frustrated ..lol
         “Why are my workers all idiots!!”

         • Hahahaha what is better to be ordinary or to be perfect surrounded by idiots? Where happiness lies? Why God created people like this? We are all so different! Besides love and friendship does not depend on talents and success. We simply love a person or not.

   • This question is mostly hypothetical…
     but I thought it’s interesting to know what others think
