According to Oxford dictionary, designer babies are babies whose genetic makeup has been selected in order to eradicate a particular defect or to insure that a particular gene is present. In short, this means that parents are able to choose some traits and characteristics of their unborn children. An example of this would be eye or hair color.
Inheritable gene modification means that when a designer baby has children, it's "designer genes" will be passed to the offspring.
Many people disagree on the ethics of designer babies. Should parents be able to chose certain traits for their children, or should it be left up to fate?Throughout this blog we will tell you all about designer babies and the arguments that come with them.
