The reason I chose this topic for my eighth-grade capstone was because designer babies were mostly made to help More families out with preventing things with their kids and even helping with people who can’t have children. This topic intervenes with the natural world because Scientists can now change the way genomes are constructed to terminate certain diseases that occur because of genetic mutation. The first Genetically Engineered babies was first created in the U.S in 2000. Some people decide to make a genetically engineered baby to prevent their children from having an inherited disease, or to have their babies with certain traits they want, or to choose the embryos that would be an exact cell match to their other child to help donation of their disease.
For this project, I researched more articles that told different reasons on why these genetically Engineered babies are created or the different Cons and Pros to making the baby. For my research one of my sites http://naturalsociety.com/worlds-first-genetically-modified-babies-created-in-us/ I used this because it gave more information on why some mothers would make their own designer baby like because they have trouble conceiving their own children. Another site https://designerbabiesethics.wordpress.com/2013/04/28/the-cons-of-designer-babies/ was used to tell you the Pros and Cons. One more other important site http://embryo.asu.edu/pages/ethics-designer-babies which tells you what a designer baby is and all its ethics.
For my project, I designed it specifically to focus on the main parts of understanding the Genetically Engineered babies and how they’re made, why there are made, and how they affect us. My format was a website because it was easy to utilize my space and organize well enough for everyone to use. My website is called http://geneticallydesignerbabies.weebly.com/ and it tells you all the information you need to know about Pros Cons, what is a genetically engineered baby, the timeline, and sources to help you understand. I specifically choose these topics because I feel like those were the main informational points that would help anyone understand everything about a designer baby.
Science should intervene in Genetically engineered babies because of the current impact of the reproductive industry. I believe that the acceptable level of intervention should be in favor of it because it helps parents that can have kids and it helps you pick out what you want your baby to have. There’s many different reasons on why these babies could affect our lives as a beneficial addition. There’s been big discoveries that we can now do like changing the way Genomes are constructed and that will always interfere with science.
