Designer Babies final paper James Ball
A designer baby is a baby whose genetic makeup has been selected by ensuring to be able to choose particular genes or characteristics. I agree with this happening for the one reason that we could get rid of certain diseases. I don’t agree with the fact that some parents want to choice genes for eye color or stuff like that. No matter what I’m okay with designer babies because it could really help us get rid of genes that maybe cause cancer or measles or diabetes and diseases like that. I think that it could really help the future generations if used smartly and not ignorantly.
Ethics and morals come in the making of a designer baby. There also the science behind the making of the baby and taking gene and giving genes it a big hassle to me but whatever. Also the only people who can afford this is rich people or who what to keep blood line pure. To date the technology at hand has only been used to treat disease in children. But has also believed that parent have already tried to choose the child’s genes, thus creating the so called “designer babies”
Advantages with having designer a designer baby are couples who can’t conceive to have a child. It would increase the likely to have a happy and healthy baby. It can be used to save babies lives after birth. Used to get rid of serious diseases. Also reduces the chances of a miscarriage.
There are also disadvantages to this and to start you have the moral problems like its to much like play god or your killing embryos that could have been humans. Or the cost to get the genes changed. But you don’t know what going to happen to there kids and their grandkid. It may cause other diseases that we haven’t even found yet. Or you could just get a scientist that messes up and changes the wrong gene you never know what could happen.
Conclusion being that because of morals and ethics most people think it’s a abomination. But to me to get rid of disease it would be worth it. Plus that could save many children and I’m totally for that. Just like everything else there’s a good side and a bad light but honestly I’m for the good side I’m for designer babies only to save lives though. And with the flaws that come with it will be damned.
