What are designer babies? Designer babies are babies that are designed by parents to have the exact traits they want to have. Inheritable gene modification is what makes designer babies possible. If a couple wants a baby who is tall, has blonde hair, and strong, scientists could make that happen. Also, a certain gene can be taken out if it can cause a defect. For example, if an embryo had Kilnefelter syndrome, scientists could remove the y chromosome or the extra x chromosome to make a healthy boy or girl. Designer babies are becoming a part of the future, but they are highly controversial.
