  • Essay / Designer Babies: Unethical and Unnecessary - 998

    When it comes to the subject of designer babies, or even the idea of ​​being able to create a "perfect" child, there is either a controversy, or a pure relief. The reason is that when it comes to conceiving babies, there is good and bad. For example, some would say that being able to genetically modify a baby so that it has no chance of coming out deformed or even suffering from mental or psychological illnesses and disabilities is a miracle. Others may say that, from the point of view of ethical law, this cannot be acceptable. The fact that you choose your child's fate is "wrong", stating that if a child ends up with an illness, that's life, we shouldn't be able to control it. Which makes sense, yes, unless you're talking about two parents who can't have children because they might pass on a disease. Both opinions have some reality, starting to create "perfect" children will indeed affect the world, the fact is that we don't know if it will be a good or bad effect until it happens. On the contrary, being able to create children or people without disabilities or mental/physical problems would lead to a much happier and stronger world. I support the cause of designer babies to some extent. If it was about saving a child from suffering until their untimely death, why shouldn't we support a cause that can prevent that. On the contrary, when you conceive a child with the intention of making them a Victoria Secret model, that's when things become unethical and unnecessary. At www.debate.org/opinions/should-there-be-designer-babies they discuss a range of opinions that justify and diminish the idea of ​​designer babies. One quote in particular: "We could have healthy babies with any disease... it would be...... middle of paper ......child, whether to choose to save their children from inheriting a disease, or I even want your child to be able to have all 10 fingers I know there are and always will be cases where people profit from genetic engineering or. the whole process of creating a baby, thinking that it will be nice to implant horns on their child's head These things can be easily avoided by strict laws and by training doctors in good judgment, because in. In reality, there will always be people who make mistakes. However, you cannot punish a whole group of people because a few people made mistakes; you can reinforce the rules for people who can use the baby system in this case. The decision to be able to conceive/genetically modify babies can be a matter of life and death, as well as determining the fate of our humanity. //www.nydailynews.com
