What is a designer baby? Who came up with this term? If you would have a
chance, would you design the babies you would like to have? Why or why not? Is the
idea of a designer baby a benefit or a cost? Who are entitled to design their babies and
who are not? How can you design your baby? Does this happen at the sperm, egg,
zygote, embryo, or fetus level? What do you use in order to design your baby? Are these
methods to design babies safe? Who is in control of using these methods? Were these
methods tried in mammalian embryos that are not humans? What were the results? If
you would have the opportunity to design your babies to increase their immunity to
diseases, would you do this? Why or why not?
