The Great Designer Baby Controversy of ’09

Fertility centers are the places where the deisgner babies are being made. Some of these clinics guarrantee a 100% chance for their pick of gender for the child. Controversy arrived when the idea of hair and eye color rose. Steinberg said, "I would not say this is a dangerous road, but an uncharted road." They have never gone this far before and it is all very risky.An overwhelming seventy five percent of people would use the pgd for the gene of mental retardation, fifty- six for blindness, fifty-four for deafness, and even fifty-one percent for cancer. The lesser percents like ten and twelve were for athletics and intelligence. This shows that majority of people just want their children to be able to live a regular life. They are not trying so much to build a perfect baby, but a baby that does not have any diseases or disorders at birth.
