Designer Baby Persuasive Essay by Mohammed Abed 811

   The article "Designer Baby" by Patricia Smith is about how scientist will soon assemble a perfect baby. They will be able to do this by letting parents select the traits of their babies. They could pick if they want their child to be tall, have a high IQ , being athletic, or musical. They could also alter genes to remove unwanted conditions. I believe that parents should not be able to change or alter their children's genes except for diseases and disorders.

    I believe parents shouldn't be able to change or alter their children's genes except for diseases and disorders. I think parents should be able to cure diseases and disorders in their children is beneficial to parents, the children, and society. However, I believe using genetic engineering to create super children with superior intellects and perfect features is wrong. Another reason why is because what is the purpose on having a kid and not having the child to look like you. The kid wont really be unique because everyone has their own special talents.

    I believe parents shouldn't be able to change or alter their children's genes except for diseases and disorders. I believe this because children are not toys. They are not meant to be designed to specifications most convenient to the owner in this case the parent. If you change the way genes are produced naturally and start choosing what you want to do, then you could start having to much of the same things. Also you may start having problems with people aborting babies more often because they aren't what you want them to be. Their could be bad benefits from changing genes in someone's body and making them susceptible to diseases that they didn't have the immunity from.

   In conclusion, I believe that parents should not be able to change or alter their children's genes except for diseases and disorders. Parent's shouldn't be able to make their baby perfect. Now if you have a baby all you want for it is to be healthy. If you start changing the genes then you start saying you want it to be tall, have a high IQ , being athletic, or musical. What is the point of having a baby if it doesn't come out looking like you or having any of your traits?
