DESIGNER BABIES

WHAT ARE DESIGNER BABIES.

• Designer babies are genetically modified embryos
• This allows you to choose a healthy embryo that's disease free
• You can also choose what your babies appearance looks like ( green eyes,brown hair, widows peak ect)

DESIGNER BABIES AND HUMAN BIOLOGY

• When designing your baby you're allowed to choose the sperm you want to fertilize your egg
• Embryos are screened for genetic disorders
• Embryos are then implanted back into the mothers uterus which is part of the reproductive system
• The mother then continues the pregnancy and birth like any other

DESIGNER BABIES AND ANIMALS

• Designer babies are just like any other vertebrate animal
• They're born through amniotic eggs
• Warm blooded

DESIGNER BABIES AND CLASSIFICATION/ TAXONOMY

• These babies are still considered humans and classified as such
• Kingdom: Animalia, Phylum: Chordata , Class: Mammalia, Order: Primates, Genus: Homo, Species: Homo Sapiens

CHANGE OVER TIME

• Natural selection eliminates the weakest organisms
• Designer babies are the healthy embryos therefore disease free
• These babies will last longer because they're stronger and healthier
• These babies genetics will be passed on to their kin and they will have strong disease free babies

APPLICATIONS OF GENETICS

• Designer babies were made possible so you could avoid diseases
• The embryos are tested for diseases such as Down syndrome, sex-linked traits and other possible diseases
• Designer babies are a form of genetic engineering. Genetic engineering is when you take one gene out of an organism and transferred into another
