Designer Babies.

Picture this a genetic diseases runs in the family. The family doctor warns that the née baby that will born the the family will carry the same disease. But having gene editing technology, the child may avoid the disease will born normally. This seems to be a better option but The critic says, that this technology ay exacerbate inequality. Pressuring everyone to go for this technology to stay competitive in the world. But how far is it going to prove worth to the humanity especially to the DNA system?

Genes are the fundamental units of heredity, passed down from parents to offspring. They determine characteristics like eye color, height, and even susceptibility to certain diseases. In other words, genes are the blueprints of life, dictating how an organism develops and functions. They are the foundation of heredity and play a crucial role in determining an individual's traits and characteristics. Genes provide the instructions for building and operating the body, from visible features like hair and skin to the intricate functions of cells and organs. These are the natural process and any alteration to it may destroy the heredity structure of the family.

Changing the genes of a baby, especially for non-medical reasons, raises significant ethical concerns. Gene editing could have unintended effects on the individual's development and health, and these effects could be passed down to future generations. The potential for using gene editing to enhance traits, rather than just prevent diseases, raises concerns about creating a society where genetic enhancements are seen as desirable and may lead to inequalities. While gene therapy could potentially prevent or treat genetic diseases, there are risks of unforeseen consequences for the individual and future generations, and the technology is not yet fully safe and effective.

While the prospect of using gene editing to prevent genetic diseases is appealing, the ethical and safety concerns are significant. Most experts believe that germline gene editing should be limited or prohibited until the technology is safer, more precise, and the potential consequences are better understood. We don't know the long-term effects of gene editing on the health of individuals and their descendants.

In good faith - Peace!!
