Pros and Cons Of Designer Babies

http://www.buzzle.com/articles/pros-and-cons-of-designer-babies.html

The term designer baby is defined as a baby whose genetic makeup has been artificially selected by genetic engineering a combined with in vitro fertilization to ensure the presence or absence of particular genes or characteristics. In Vitro Fertilization technique involves the fertilization of the egg by the sperm in test tubes, outside the mother’s body. In which it allows doctors to screen for any disorder. This technique has many pros and cons to it. Genetic screening can reduce the baby’s chances of being born with a terminal illness or serious diseases like Down syndrome. One of the cons would be that the technique is not limited to screening for genetic and hereditary disorder, but is also used for cosmetic diagnosis. Meaning that people could pretty much buy their baby for eighteen thousand dollars.

It seemed amazing to me how they could only find one pro out of the situation. They found numerous cons and gave details. To me the article is bias, but gives very good description of their information.
