option of genetically engineering the "designer baby". This may be used to spare the unborn from disease or‚ possibly‚ make them tall‚ intelligent and blessed with any desirable traits.

This essay will explain the various views on genetic engineering but will primarily concentrate on "the ethics of genetically engineering the designer baby". Genetic engineering is described

A designer baby is a baby which has been genetically engineered for pre-selected traits‚ varying from lowering the risk of genetic disorders to gender selection. Parents currently are not able to screen their future babies for genes involving hair color‚ athletic ability‚ or intelligence yet‚ however‚ companies such as “23andme” have patents on these tests for when they are developed in the future. ( Embryo screening involves a process called preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). Embryos

resulting the huge development of reproductive technologies in our life. Designer babies are created for elimination of deadly diseases and also genetic enhancement. Today‚ this technology has been established as an acceptable practice in removing diseases only. However‚ when it comes to genetic enhancements‚ ethical issues happen in the aspects of individuals‚ society and religions. According to Johnson (2009)‚ ‘designer baby’ is defined as the baby whose genetically makeup has been artificially

Argumentative Essay The Perfect Child Should creating the “perfect” child be considered moral or immoral? The creation of designer babies has been an issue since about 2008 when human cloning became acceptable to scientists and was considered an advancement in technology with no concerns about human evolution‚ genetics‚ or how cloning could potentially change these things forever. Designer babies propose both moral problems and solutions for the medical world. These are babies whose genetic makeup has

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

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
