American Journal of Bioethics, 16(9), W1–W3. https://doi.org/10.1080/15265161.2016.1196763The article explores the cutting edge technologies of gene modification used for food production and human gene therapy. It focuses on the bioethical issues of control of genetic factors in both plants and animals. The process of development of designer babies is associated with a lot of wrong actions including handling of embryos and criticizing those that are deemed imperfect. The article is, therefore, critical for the study because of its insight on the ethical issues associated with the technologies used for the development of designer babies.

It is a technology that is proving beneficial for the fighting of different genetic diseases such as cancer and is also demonstrating a promise when it comes to HIV. It is a concept that is considered a revolution in genomics and possesses excellent possibilities of change in humanity.

This article explores the business of creating babies based on the concept of designer babies.

It focuses on the ethical issues associated with the commercialization of the process and technology of embryo selection and removing genetic imperfections to creating the business of conception. Despite the great benefits that the concept of designing babies has to humanity, it also raises tremendous ethical issues associated with commercializing of the process and development of elite babies as part of a new social structure.

The article reviews the book, “A Brave New World “which is a story of the future characterized by widespread use of the concepts of designing babies. It is based on a dystopian society associated with the manufacture of human beings into a stratified society divided into social classes based on the physical and chemical manipulation of embryos. It explores the ethical problems associated with such process it tries to offer a glimpse at the future regarding the unethical use of the concept of designing babies.
