Designer babies is the phrase coined by officials to describe babies who are "designed" by parents before they are actually born. Through in vitro fertilization, parents are able to tweak the child's traits so the child can have the desired eye color, hair color, gender, etc. Although this hasn't really occured yet, there have been some 'designer babies' in a sense. Lately, in vitro fertilization was originally used to get rid of hereditary diseases in the parent so it wouldn't be passed on to offspring. Many officials feared that by tweaking the cells that caused the disease, parents would want to tweak the cells that caused undesired external traits. This would kindle many social issues concerning the right of a child to have a natural selection of its traits.

Redirect to:

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
  • From the plural form: This is a redirect from a plural noun to its singular form.
    • This redirect link is used for convenience; it is often preferable to add the plural directly after the link (for example, ]s). However, do not replace these redirected links with a simpler link unless the page is updated for another reason (see WP:NOTBROKEN).
    • Use this rcat to tag only mainspace redirects; when plural forms are found in other namespaces, use {{R from modification}} instead.
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
