• If you could design your baby what would you choose?
Assuming you do decide to go ahead and choose your child’s features what would you choose?
Discuss

Present your ideas below. Justify your choice

Task 2 What choice should we allow?


There is an element of design in all babies. The list below shows all the techniques which have been,
or might one day be used. How far down the list do you think the term “designer babies” starts to
apply? If you do not understand all the terms used see the glossary below.
Consider the list as a line representing us interfering more and more in what sort of baby is born.
Decide how far down the line you think interference is acceptable. Walk down the line until you get
to the procedure that is the limit for you. Stop there.
