Lists the pros and cons of having the choice to design babies.  pros are explaining that it can help families that are prone to having a kid with a disease or defect so then they can have a child with out problems.  Another positive is the science side and how advanced biotechnology is getting.  Cons is mostly saying how un-ethical this process is, and how it can affect the human race and its future.

CNN is describing how you can take certain genes such as a non-bearing disease gene for their child, or someone not pron to obesity.  Also how they tested embryos on animals first, and the genes that you can pass on for human traits.

In this article it's discussing the most recent advances in biotechnology.  Also it is saying how much closer altering the genetics of human beings is getting much closer to being real.  At first scientist have tried altering genetics in food, then on to animals.  Then they discovered that it contracts cancer and other possible diseases.  Also the scientist have thought about how this can affect the future and how it can affect other animals and our food resources after genetically altering the animals, and using natural selection, and cross breeding animals.  Some could already have a disease in their tissue and it could just cause a lot of new diseases in the future.

Talks about the science behind altering the genetics and choosing traits to benefit others.  By altering genetics they mean they can take a certain gene out of any cell to have that certain trait.  When they do that they take a needle and stick it in the middle of that specific cell and put it into the embryo for the child.  They can do that with multiple genes and put it in the embryo.

After reading this article I learned that most science teachers are very happy about the idea of designer babies.  This is because science has become so advanced that they can alter, choose traits in a child if need be.  It doesn't talk about the moral/ethical side to it, but they're just making a point that science has advanced so much, and they are proud to talk about it and teach it to others.
