Lemon Baby Case

This case was very interesting to read. Ethical principles to consider would be making sure that what was expected was delivered to the customers. There should have been quality checks in place before and after implantation, also to add staff should be well trained in quality checking the data that was/is input into the system. Also another aspects to look at is how it affects society and the biogenetic child. As in the case of Dr. Smalley is no longer wanted the child because “she” did not fit his specifications.

An example could be favoritism of designer children over parents naturally born children, children developing in opposite of what was specified, i.e., not liking school, sports, or not being as beautiful/handsome as the parents envisioned. These examples can cause so many issues in society and in
