Designer babies are the new way to bioengineer offspring, to change the different genetics of a child. Scientists will be able to eventually use transcription and translation to change the different traits like; gender, appearance, intelligence, diseases, and personality. There is much controversy on whether designer babies should exist because of ethical controversy and designer babies causing additional racism in our country. Only the wealthy will be able to have designer babies, and will they think they are to good for the rest of the world. “The process of DNA replication starts off with the double helix “unzipping” with both helices running in opposite directions. A “Y” shaped region is formed. The whole DNA doesn’t split though, only a small

Although designer babies may seem like a good thing that could benefit many children 's lives, there are some con’s and pro’s to each. Some pro’s would be; reduced risk of genetic diseases, reduced risk of inherited medical conditions, better chance the child will succeed in life, better understanding of genetics, increased life span, can give child genes that the parents do not carry, and prevent next generation of family from getting characteristics/diseases.
