Re: Designer babies Lords give thumbs up
Oh dear, it seems that now the red herring of eugenics is being dragged across this topic.
We're talking about processes that *already* exist, that of producing IVF babies and of organ/ tissue/ cell donation from relatives.
Does anyone have any objection to these?
IVF involves some fertilzed eggs not being used already, all that is happening is that a particular one is being chosen as the best possible match for donation to a sibling instead of the process being random.
This is *not* the same as wanting to produce a blonde, blue eyed "Aryan Master Race", it is nothing like that.
If the chosen embryo comes to term and then turns out not to be a perfect match or the transplant or whatever doesn't work properly, do you really think the parents are going to love that baby any less?
