Advantages and disadvantages of genetic manipulation of babies Genetic manipulation technology allows the future to be full of possibilities, whether it is improvements or disadvantages. Currently, genetic manipulation allows us to do amazing things, like conceive babies. This can allow us to ensure that the future child does not suffer from incurable diseases or genetic disorders, and the baby's characteristics can almost be selected from its parents. However, many may believe that genetic manipulation to produce designer babies is not an ethical and natural way to create a baby. People also question whether the baby's parents have any real right to genetically manipulate their baby. Using genetic manipulation to create designer babies can bring many benefits to our society. First, it can create disease “insurance” for custom-designed babies because it can ensure that the child does not have genes that could cause genetic diseases. Families carrying genetic diseases or suffering from huge life-threatening diseases can benefit from baby conception technology and it can also help eliminate the risks of genetic diseases from society. This process of genetic manipulation can help eliminate incurable genetic diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease and Down syndrome, allowing the future generation to live in healthy conditions.

This case has become controversial and people have debated that they should not be allowed to deliberately deaf their baby because the parents do not believe that deafness is a disability. The use of designer baby genetic manipulation technology could be a huge benefit to those suffering from genetic diseases and could save many lives. However, it also has many ethical questions and makes people question whether or not it is morally right. Regardless, people who choose to have their designer babies must have their own reasons and they must be respected..
