Essay / Research Paper Abstract
3 pages in length. The list of options was rather long as the couple sat in the waiting room filling out their paperwork. There for their first in vitro fertilization procedure, they were faced with a number of choices pertaining to the baby they would eventually create: sex - female; hair color - blond; eyes - green; height - 5'7"; body type - athletic; I.Q. - 125; aptitude - music and law. Testing for specific diseases had all but weeded out life-threatening syndromes and socially unacceptable conditions that guaranteed they would make a healthy baby - and if not then they would simply abort it - so all that was left for aspiring parents to think about was what psychological and physiological traits they wanted their perfect child to have. Is this merely the plot of a bestselling science fiction novel? Not anymore given the progress scientific advancement has rendered in the recent past. If genetic engineering continues down the path it currently follows, there will be grave consequences to pay for manipulating man's natural methods of reproduction. No bibliography.

genetic engineering continues down the path it currently follows, there will be grave consequences to pay for manipulating mans natural methods of reproduction.
Technology has forged a long-standing relationship with the notion of making babies, inasmuch as freezing a womans fertile eggs for future use was originally devised for couples who had infertility
issues; now, however, this same process - in addition to utilizing sperm banks - has migrated to the single and gay populations as a viable way to circumvent the need
for a fertile man and woman to have intercourse in order to conceive a child. Now, in the twenty-first century, technology has once again stepped beyond what was once
thought to be the stuff of science fiction: genetic analysis before implantation. While this highly controversial process does decrease the risk of genetic diseases, there are serious ethical concerns
related to the use of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) solely for gender selection and family balancing options. For couples using in vitro fertilization (IVF), the option for genetic engineering takes
