Social media users discussed genetic modification of human babies. Most thought that it was an inevitable part of the future and others posted witty comments about possibly having some.

2:42 AM and I’m thinking about how much money I need to save to be able to have 2-3 designer babies because I won’t pass on this nose to my offspring.

They are discussing the topic of “designer babies” on the news where embryos are genetically modified before putting in the mother. How is this acceptable but having genetically modified food to make it better for you is not?
@ctrlcreep
Designer babies, with indigo skin and diamond freckles mirroring the constellations, with owlish eyes pulsating pink and blue, with the cunning of the fox and the power of the lion—fear them!
@genomicsedu
Forget designer babies and novelty pets. The potential for #genome editing to improve health is already emerging.
@AuroraEchoes
The ethics and moral implications of “designer babies” is a complicated and nuanced conversation worth having.
@Gizmodo
UK ethics council says it’s ‘morally permissible’ to create genetically modified babies
@sophiexharmon
They need to start making genetically modified babies that don’t cry...
