  I am only okay with gene editing to fix problems but not to enhance. The gap between the rich and the poor is already awful and designer babies will make the problem even worse.

  If you intend to order up 'super human', 'extra everything', think again..judging from the 'clumsy' looking animals being cloned. Moving stuff around is not the same as creating from scratch.

  Will this be a Pro-Choice world? And by that we of course mean it is the woman's choice and the guy sits outside the office. Of course this assumes he has even been informed at all of the procedure that defines whether he is a father or not. Or the state of his child.

  Can't wait to see a revolution: genetically modified human beings. Its recreation not pro-creation at this stage

  makes it possible, but is it wise? Is there not a danger of creating a breed of real 'designer-babies'? Choosing genetic qualities to create a super baby
