Designer Babies Genes
Would you changed the way your unique child looks or acts? There has been a debate on how scientist should use gene editing. I myself, mostly disagree with the idea of designer babies, but I agree with editing diseases out of humans cells. intelligence, homosexualality & prettiness is mostly determined through confidence, and who you want to be, but also through genes.
Changing your child's hair color, eye color, personality, and sexuality can change, and alter our world, by making everyone look and act the same. People who have more money will take advantage of what their offspring will inherit. But what people don't realize is that you shouldn't change the way a baby looks because you expect it to be “ugly”, stupid, or homosexual. …show more content…
No matter what, these diseases will still spread until there is a cure, most likely not even then. Is this really a bad thing? This child went from an 40 to 80% chance that it was going to have breast cancer to… Only 12%, Stated in how much can we decide about babies genes?. This is great, but after all of the pain and stress you have over this procedure being done, and CRISPR possibly clipping one of your genes ( can lead to even worse diseases; cystic fiber and risk of different cancer) You STILL have a 12% chance. 12% is not much of a percentage vs. 40%, but it is still a 12%, meaning that out of 12% of people still would have breast cancer after the gene clipping, you may not think it would happen to you, but the thing is that the same 12% of people who got breast cancer from genes as well as people who got cancer through environmental factors, thought, I most likely won't get breast cancer now, but they get it . The most scariest thing is that scientist don't know how or why there would still be a 12% chance, so where is it coming from? Joy Larsen Haidle, president of the National Society of Genetic Counselors said “ it also caused a number of unintended, "off-target" effects on some parts of the genome. These changes could lead to other genetic complications, some of which could be fatal.” This quote includes an example of how side-effects of CRISPR can be more harmful than the disease you are
