"Designer Babies and the Pro-Choice Movement"
Rebecca Tuhus-Dubrow
Summer 2007

This article states that one of the biggest problems ahead for this is an increase in competing values such as individual liberty and social equality. In the beginning the families were using this process to cure common diseases such as Tay-Sachs and sickle cell anemia. However some parents are using their money and getting to pick the gender of their child. People will spend money on this and it will create a huge controversial dispute and will most likely lead to some sort of separation. This will be a huge debate in the reproductive rights movement. There is going to be a big challenge for the pro choice groups to distinguish their concept of reproductive rights. There could be a possibility of numerous law suits involving this too.

  1. People are starting to relate designer babies to abortion saying that a woman has control of her body and blah blah. The fact is that there is a new body being formed does not matter where it is located.
