Designer Babies

"Designer babies" are really just the product of genetic engineering. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis allows for parents to detect certain genes in the embryo and change them through genetic engineering, if they are not favorable. The most common use of genetic engineering in embryos is to get rid of disease and disabilities, though some technologies make it possible to affect things like sex and skin color.
