DESIGNER BABIES http://goo.gl/5T6Iky

=== Designer baby - A designer baby is a baby whose genetic makeup has been selected in order to eradicate a particular defect, or to ensure that a particular gene is present. Some parents think about wanting to have the "perfect baby" the perfect baby could consist of the physical appearance, gender, intelligence, athletic, and from stopping passing down of disease. For example if the mother has diabetes genetic designing can be used to prevent the diabetes being passed down to the baby. ===

===**This website provides and explanation of what genetic testing and what you can do with the designing of your baby such as gender and both physical and metal traits. And how it can prevent disease being passed down to your child.**===

=== "Roughly 1,000 to 4,000 children born in the United States each year will develop a mitochondrial disease, most by age 10, with symptoms that can range from mild to devastating. These diseases typically prevent mitochondria from converting food into energy and are the result of genetic abnormalities, although some cases can be caused by exposures to toxins." ===

It spoke about how family genetic illnesses can be prevented for children in the upcoming future. Also how genetically designing a child is against the natural process of birth and definitely cannot be considered ethical ===

===**The video explains how Chinese scientist used the genetic design on making sure some disease aren't to be passed down to the baby. They explain how they're editing out certain traits in the DNA and how this technology can involve over the year.**===

In this video they talk about how scientist can edit human genomes and how they do it. They also talk about the pros and cons and why some scientist are against the designer babies.
