Cohen, I. G. (2016). GMO Sapiens: The Life-Changing Science of Designer Babies. 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.
