A Baby, Please. Blond, Freckles -- Hold the Colic

The idea of being able to edit genetic traits in children has come true. It has been present for a while now but only used to try and remove diseases so that the baby will not be born with any life threatening diseases. Now we have the knowledge and technology to change more specific traits such as gender but many of the labs are afraid to begin this program. In a survey of 999 people there were several different requests made that they would implant into there children's traits such as being taller, being more athletic, and even being smarter. Than there was also the idea of how other people would react to genetically engineering baby's and in a way make a superior human by editing all these traits. It is controversial but the U.S. allowed labs to change traits and out of 137 labs about 50% of them now offer gender selection.

1. its hypothesis based science because it has been tested to achieve the correct format for the process which is so delicate.
2. This discovery could be one of the greatest discovery's as far as how impact full it will be on society ever. It allows us to change genetic traits in human beings. We could make are race stronger, smarter, taller and etc. It basically places the characteristics of are own race in are own hands.
