The term "designer baby" is an informal name given to a baby whose genetic makeup has been altered by means of genetic engineering. This term was originally derived from ’designer clothing ’‚ implying that the baby has been pieced together with desired ’traits ’ or characteristics according to the direction of those that hold with them the power to change a baby before it is born. This may be the parents‚ scientists or doctors. Currently‚ it is a technology in its early stages

your child’s genes? Genetic babies shouldn’t happen because it costs too much‚ it could possibly hurt the child‚ and there could be tons of children that look the same. Changing the way your child is supposed to look can harm the child. The technology is still experimental‚ so it might not be safe‚ and mistakes might be made. The modification could affect the gene pool and affect the family tree. Having designer babies can cost too much. It costs 3‚000 to 5‚000 dollars for a designer baby. The parents

the debate of nature versus nurture. A study by North Carolina State University claims that one’s environment can determine when gene switches will be turned on or turned off. Cancer is one example of this. For example‚ when one has excessive exposure to sunlight they can acquire skin cancer. This then shows how nurture has the ability to possibly change our genetic

engineering‚ opponents of gene editing cast a grim light on new technologies that put the human race further to the ability to change the genetic makeup of the human genome. When the ability to edit the human genome became realized‚ skeptics immediately voiced their opinions on how outrageous the thought of manipulating the human genome was. To manipulate the human genome was to change the past and hinder natural selection‚ the cornerstone of evolution. Opponents of gene editing like Josephine Quintavalle

Prior to reading chapter two of Bill Mckibben’s book‚ Deep Economy‚ I had never thought about food beyond its taste and affordability. According to McKibben‚ eating local farm products is a better choice for environmental reasons. This point of view prompts me to evaluate the pros and cons of food selection and sources in my current diet. Am I making the right choices for a sustainable life? Before

Charlie had always wanted to be intelligent‚ and he did with a special operation. People today are trying to figure out how this story could become a reality. Genetic engineering is the modification of characteristics of a plant by changing its genes. Humans may give people confidence‚ cure them from diseases‚ and help people live longer. People have always wanted confidence and to fit in with the crowd. In the scientific fiction story‚ Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes‚ Charlie is a mentally

Genes are the building blocks of life. They uniquely define each and every one of us‚ from our hair color to our ability to fight disease. For the past few decades‚ the study of genetics has given scientists an ability that we as a species never had before-- the ability to directly modify our genetic makeup. With this scientific breakthrough‚ the possibilities are endless with real world implications. On a darker note‚ this also means that genetic modification has the ability to adversely affect
