Immoral, strange, something that shouldn't be pursued, and unnatural, is how custom-made babies have always been viewed. By leaving such a negative tone, these things are usually enough to keep most people from further researching the topic of designer babies. Since most people judge this book by its cover, the topic immediately becomes wrong and avoided. People do not know the positive effects that engineered children could have on the future and on families with diseases that can be passed on genetically to their children. Instead of seeing the positive they only see the negative, which is hypocritical, right, unmoral and unethical. Custom-made children are the next step in the evolution of human beings, and its natural process develops day by day through technology and techniques to create custom-made children as part of our society. The term tailor-made children is not a specific science, but it is a subscience and a specific concentration in the science of genetic engineering. “The term was coined to denote children whose genetic characteristics have been artificially selected or modified to ensure specific intellectual and cosmetic characteristics.” (Introduction to Designer Babies: In Question) The basic definition of genetic engineering helps explain and provide basic information on what it is and how it can create custom-made babies: Genetic engineering is also known as gene splicing, modification, or manipulation genetics (GM), and recombinant DNA technology. They all refer to the same concept: the direct manipulation of genes in a laboratory environment. This is done by changing the protein sequence in a gene. A gene is a segment of DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, that carries genetic instructions within... the center of the paper... 3."Genetic Engineering." Current Issues: Macmillan Social Science Library.
