Designer Babies
From eyes color to height, now you could chose the way you would like your child to look. A clinic in California allows parents to genetically alter the characteristics of their babies. However, there is an ongoing debate about this issue of 'designer babies'.
Designer Babies have come along for seventeen years, mostly used for diseases such as Down Syndrome, Tay-Sachs, and many types of cancers. Parents also use this to deter any kind of mental illnesses. But in other cases, this could be used to chose the color of the baby's' eyes, hair, skin complexion,height, IQ, and even if they are male and female.
Many people don't get designer babies because of the cost, chance of risk, and because all the procedures they had to go through. This costs at least $19,000 in America. There is also a 25-50% chance of having other kids with serious illnesses. The surveys from NYU have determined that there isn't a great demand for having designer babies.
I think that designer babies should not be created because the most important thing is having a healthy and natural baby.
