True, but what if parents decide they want to use this technology not to enhance their baby's looks, intelligence, gender etc. but to give them disease immunity? Let's say there is a couple, and both of their families have a history of cancer. The doctor tells them that modifying their baby's genes will give him immunity to cancer but increase the likelihood that he will catch a flu. Would it still be wrong for them to try to give their baby immunity to cancer?

"Some of these labs might alter particular genes to create so-called “designer babies”, with tailored features that range from height and eye color to disease immunity." Who came up with the term designer babies? Sounds so inhuman. Babies are not accessories like designer handbags or designer shoes.
