I'm going to blog about designer babies today. Random, i know. I'm doing this because i wanted to do research on this topic for one of my CA, but it wasn't really suitable, and it kind of interested me, so i'm just going to talk about it. But of course the main reason is the lack of content in my blog.

There's this kind of technology where people can actually pick out "perfect" and selected genes and put them together in some embryo or whatever thing to create a baby with some selected traits that they want. So people can give their babies blue eyes or whatever they want. This is a genetically-engineered baby (media calls it designer babies).

And then some people went to purposely give the babies a disability just so he/she can fit into the culture. Like there's this culture that gave the babies deafness through this genetic-engineering thing.

And then there were others who do the opposite; they make sure that their babies are healthy and free from disabilities. In some cases, parents created designer babies to save another child. These babies are created with certain body parts that can be donated to save another child's lives.

But, is it really okay to let your parents modify your genes and stuff? Isn't it weird and unnatural? And what's with purposely giving people disabilities just so you can fit into the culture? I don't really have much rights to criticise this "system" because i don't know much about it, but i find it interesting.

In some ways, isn't this what some people willingly do anyway?

Like, plastic surgery and stuff. I heard that there was this woman who injected cooking oil into her face because she tried to perform plastic surgery on herself :/

I guess the best is still positive thinking and self-satisfaction.
