The term “Designer Babies” has been thought of as science fiction for a long time now to describe babies that have been genetically altered while still in the embryo form for good-looks‚ intelligence and to be free of genetic disease. With the new advanced reproductive technologies available‚ this dream could

The Cons of Designer Babies The future of genetic engineering is full of many possibilities‚ good things and improvements for our society. Currently‚ designer baby technology is only used to make sure the parents of a future child will not have a child with an incurable disease. However‚ it is only a matter of time before a doctor or company will put a price on other aspects of the genome of the baby. The technology can even be dangerous right now as it is to the embryos.

Glow in the dark cats are 100% real normal cats‚ except when the lights turn off they glow. It may sound like science fiction but they most certainly exist. Glow in the dark cats are a result of genetic altering in animals. Scientists say that modifying the genes of animals will enable them to make human genetic diseases in animals (Simmons 1). This will

Some people have babies because they are trying to fix a marriage‚ others to fill a void in their lives‚ some do it to pass on their genes and their family name‚ and others do it to build a family and a happy home.

Ongoing advances are now making it available for parents to genetically modify implanted embryos aiding in the creation of ‘designer babies’.

Dignity is our inherent value and worth as human beings. The Designer Babies: The Fertility Institutes is one of the cases‚ which demonstrate how new technologies can challenge the notions of human dignity.

The process of creating a designer baby is quite challenging. There are multiple steps in creating a designer baby that the parents and doctors would have to overcome. The first step is creating the embryo with In-vitro fertilization. Meaning that they have to overcome a process by which the egg is fertilized by the sperm outside of the body‚ and placed into a petri dish. Then they would have to monitor and stimulate a woman’s ovulatory process‚ and then would have to remove an egg from the woman’s
