This document discusses designer babies and genetic engineering. It begins by explaining basic genetic principles like dominant and recessive alleles. It then discusses the Human Genome Project and its goals to map all human genes. The document considers both the pros and cons of designer babies, such as being able to select for disease resistance but also losing genetic diversity. It includes sample arguments both for and against designer babies. The conclusion is that the author is partly for and partly against designer babies and that the topic raises important ethical issues.
