Question of the Day: Are designer babies ethical?

We're on the verge of being able to change the human genome... but should we?

The term 'designer baby' refers to a baby that has been given special traits through genetic engineering.

These traits can, in theory, vary from lower resistance to diseases to even being able to choose a gender.
