It is important to stop the use of gene editing for the creation of designer babies. Genetic editing has been around since the 1970s. The science behind gene editing has now progressed to be used to alter the DNA of embryos. These embryos can be altered to be smarter, more attractive, remove disease risks, and to gain non-human characteristics.
While the use of altering DNA for prevention of disease is a positive benefit, the negative benefits over shadow the positives. Another negative is the possibility that anybody with a scientific background in genetics could make "the perfect human". When it comes down to this we are looking at the potential of a real world hunger games.
