The most controversial part of designer babies. The majority of the people who were asked about this topic. 10/14 people were against it and 3/14 weren't sure how they felt. They say it's an interference with a natural process

This was the least controversial of the 3 topics, many people believed that if parents were able to choose to make use of assisted reproductive techniques to prevent serious suffering.

A majority of the people agreed with this topic as well, due to the fact it is to cure existing children with serious medical conditions.

The study with these people showed that they agree with the overall concept, but there are some parts they do not enjoy, but even with the slight disagreement, there is an overall verdict of it being okay due to the benefits it does have.

-Many increased social pressures to design.
-Saviour  siblings who failed to save may be rejected.
-People would design babies for selfish reasons
-Eugenics might come to dominate policy.
-Prejudice and discrimination against non-designed babies.

A child cannot be forced to do something due to their genetic advancements, so why would changing them to have those advancements change anything.

Changing genetic problems wont make someone better than someone else who already has those specific genes.

Many recommendations about  heritable gene editing, from the statement of the  2015 US
National Academies’ Summit to a recent article in The Lancet, the Nuffield report stresses the need for both international collaboration and “broad public debate.”
