Creating made-to-order babies with genetic defects would seem to be an ethical minefield, but to some parents with disabilities - say, deafness or dwarfism - it just means making babies like them.
Was reading the paper this morning and stumbled across this little article. I think this is horrid. I don't know where I stand on modifying the genes in favor of a child to possibly prevent diseases, or increase chance of a hair color etc. But to actually take away a persons chance to ever hear the beautiful sounds of the world? This is just evil and selfish in my books.
Not to mention all the possible adverse health effects you might be causing them in the future by altering their genetic code. I had to start reading the article over in disbelief of what I read in the first few paragraphs.
