Designer babies, mere pixels coming to life?

A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for. - Martin Buber

The world is growing vastly, not only the world and culture itself but technology and science. Scientists and researchers have gathered ways to enhance our appearances and not only ourselves but the second generation. People have become so obsessed with appearances and looks and haven't looked beyond the beauty of reality. Babies are like kinder surprise chocolates with the random prize inside it. In reality, humans are all made of the same genetic material. This is a key factor that doesn't differentiate us from appearances because after all, were only human. Science is taking over the twenty first century not only for entertainment, leisure, and work reasons but also taken a part within humans. This is a huge improvement and a great discovery of our scientific world. But, this discovery would be modifying our future with a great force, which would allow us to select our children genes with our likings.



This is a shocking process; in my interpretation, you get to choose what the appearance of your baby will look like. You could even make them look like Brad Pitt and yet they'll still be your child. I'm completely petrified from this concept of choosing your own child. It's like going to the grocery store to buy ingredients from a variety of ingredients and only a few selected will be the major key ingredients for having a great outcome of a cake. I'll find it scary in the future to see children with Pink Eyes and Green Hair.
An exception of this research is if someone would like to gain the title of "Octo-mom" from Nadya Suleman, be my guest! But I highly won't recommend for anyone to do that because that that was way too many babies.

Researchers have gone "over board" with trying to modify the characteristics of childrens genes. People are taking advantage of this process of altering the genetics of a human being. The researchers should only use this important process when there is a problem with a baby and if the baby will be affected with an illness which would ruin their growth, before they are born.

This so called research could also cause many diseases because it could become an "expiriment gone bad". So if the baby was to become a "super baby" that is immune to other diseases" it may cause a new disease. In this case, it would be worse because Designer Babies would now be a new "species" or a new "type" of human being but in a more modified form which is going to attract a new illness which would be the new H1N1 Pandemic.


We, as humans need to appreciate and thank God for the beauty of mother nature. And for letting us share physical characteristics of our family. So, therefore we need to accept what the appearance of the baby looks like and so that in the future they won't be questioned by other people because of their different appearance in comparison of their parent. Parents should also note that babies are NOT LIKE BAKING A CAKE! They are fragile little angels THAT ARE LIKE Kinder Surprise Chocolates that have that surprise in the middle. So parents need to wait and see, that is the beauty of parenthood.
