" All parents have the right to genetically design their children"

Though genetically engineering children can have many positive effects, the future possibilities are terrifying and potentially dangerous to the human race. Genetics engineering is also a moral issue, is it right for a parent or politician to decide if making the perfect child is right? Will genetic engineering lead to the potential extinction of certain kinds of people in the far far future? These are issues that we all ask ourselves when addressing genetic engineering and is why it has become such a sensitive subject.
A major pro in genetic engineering babies is the possibility that it may prevent various genetic diseases such as down syndrome and cystic fibrosis, but this is not without flaw.
