Provide at least one paragraph (5–7 sentences) that describes your topic choice and what you will investigate for your final project. | I researched some information on the topic. The creation of designer babies is often questioned due to the moral and ethical dilemmas surrounding it. People frequently wonder if parents have the right reasons for modifying their child or if their reasoning is superficial. Others argue that the possibility to prevent/reduce the risk of genetic diseases outweighs the moral implications. I would like to review more on the Pros and Cons of Designer Babies. |
