M5- An Ethical Debate: Making Designer Babies
No unread replies. No replies.

The purpose of making designer babies is for families to choose the genetic traits of their offspring. Included in these traits are those related to what the child will look like such as hair, eye and skin color, even if these traits are not a natural possible outcome for the child of the two parents. Additionally, personality traits such as intelligence can be changed and determined with this process.
