Imagine yourself in your doctor's office. She hands you a clipboard and you start ticking off what you want... green eyes, blonde hair, artistic, feminine. Congratulations, you just created what you think is the perfect baby. However, there is a small problem with this plan; someone has already tried to create the perfect human being. His name is Adolf Hitler. Designer Babies, a form of human genetic engineering, should be banned. When a human being is created with a different embryo in a laboratory, that child may feel a loss of sense of identity; furthermore, genetic engineering can lead to the loss of human diversity and imbalance between social classes; and the procedure for testing and creating genetically modified babies destroys embryos that had the potential to become babies. Genetic engineering is a field that is growing rapidly every single day. First there was the cloning of Dolly the sheep, then came the controversy about it. Now we're looking at our technology and how one day soon you may have the ability to design your own child. To design their facial features, to design their interests, to design their build. Are you ready to generate your child from a checklist or a simple computer program? Think about your two parents. You were uniquely created from a blend of their genes, just as your siblings were, yet you and your siblings are different, inside and out, just as you are different from every other person on this planet. And that's what makes us unique, the fact that we are all different. Genetic engineering and, more specifically, engineered babies can break down all that diversity. Just like Hitler tried to do. We all know the failure of the Nazi party, in trying to make the world “pure” of… paper… without any benefit. Tests and procedures involving genetic engineering must be stopped. This has become more than just vanity, it's a moral issue! Thousands and thousands of potential children die during this process. For the sake of humanity, and for the sake of your descendants, stop this procedure before it goes too far down this slippery slope, stop this procedure before we make the same mistakes Hitler made, trying to create perfect human beings. Genetic engineering and engineered babies should be absolutely banned. The procedure causes children to become lost, lose their sense of identity, human diversity will be reduced, and this procedure kills an untold number of potential children. However, children are already unique and wonderful as they are and we have no compelling reason to change that system.
