Human Genetic Modification, also known as gene editing, is the direct manipulation of the genome using molecular engineering techniques. This can be used to treat diseases, like heart disease, or even change a embryos appearance. (Centers for Genetics and Society, 2019)

Why would Romantics hate Designer Babies?

# data[].attributes.body
Genetically altered embryos (designer babies) is something that the Romantics would view as horrific. This scientific/medical advancement has been under criticism for many years as many people don't like it because it interferes with religion.

There has been scandals in today's world about altering the genes of babies while they are embryos. (Cyranoski, 2019) Most of these are currently happening in only China. There has been many criminal charges for these scientist as the practices have been unsafe. (Masci, 2016)
