Designer babies, created through genetic engineering, offer tantalizing possibilities for enhancing human traits and preventing genetic diseases. However, this pursuit also raises profound ethical dilemmas. Critics argue that it could lead to genetic inequalities, social division, and the creation of "designer" humans who are valued only for their genetic advantages. They warn of the unforeseen consequences of manipulating human DNA and its potential impact on future generations. Advocates, on the other hand, assert that designer babies could eradicate devastating genetic disorders, reduce suffering, and advance human progress. They argue that with responsible regulation and ethical oversight, these technologies could empower individuals to make informed choices about their future children and contribute to a healthier and more equitable society. The debate rages on, balancing the potential benefits and risks of designer babies and the profound implications they hold for the future of humanity.
