As long as genetic engineering is proceeding further, it is getting more and more popular among people to “design” their own babies. While it can have some advantages, I strongly believe that choosing how your baby will appear in this world is not true from the prospect of parents.
Giving a person a specific appereance and personal traits can make parents not to abandon their children. It is due to that they will built their child according to their own needs. If they know how their baby will look after the birth, it can reduce the number of parents leaving their children because of some special traits. For example: harelip, Tourette syndrome etc.
On the other hand, setting an ideal child for yourself can lead to the lack of diversity among people all around the world. All babies will look similar and will, probably, follow a specific trendy style. For example: the today’s trend for females is to have long and black hair, a slim waist and a clear skin. Human will lose their individuality. What should people with health issues do? The other main concern is that some individuals will feel themselves better than the other’s are. Or people with unique appereance will not fit the society norms or regulations.
In conclusion, even if creating “designer babies” could solve some major issues like child abandonment, it will instead create some other problems among people such as setting general appereance for all people in the world.
