Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you could describe every detail of your baby before it is even born? Today's technology is making things like this possible in the near future. Designer babies started as being able to test for diseases that a baby may be prone to chromosomally or genetically because of the parents. It was used as a way to help a baby from being born with diseases that have no cure and would last a life time. Then it turned into doctors finding a way to determine the sex of the baby. This means you are now able to choose whether you have a boy or a girl. And the newest thing that is being worked on is actually determining what hair and eye color the child will have, or if they will have freckles, pretty much any physical trait that can be thought of they are trying to make it possible to choose. And then eventually these doctors and scientists are going to try and actually alter the babes traits and what they will or will not be good at. In essence if you want your child to be a pro football player, it'll be possible, and if you want your child to be a scientist you'll be able to choose that also. The rich will be able to afford this and the poor will be out of luck. The society will have a divide between a perfect society of wealth, talent and beauty and on the lower spectrum poverty, maybe some talent and maybe some good looks, but none of that will be guaranteed because it will be natures decision.
Is this really the right thing for the human race to be doing? Creating designer babies just for your own gain. None of this is completely possible yet but think about how society is so obsessed with perfection that they are willing to risk anything that can happen to the baby in this process and waste money on making sure their child fits into what most people would consider beautiful and talented and smart. This is not something that people should want to do to their children, it is not natural to decide on character traits and physical features they will have. This is a human life, not a pick and choose catalog to make a doll.
