Due to bad eating habits and lifestyle, nowadays men and women face many health related problems. Due to which they are deprived of the happiness of becoming parents. Now with IVF i.e. ‘in vitro fertilization’ it is possible that you can become a parent at any age. But there are many questions associated with IVF. According to health experts, during IVF, people often demand designer babies.
Why do we need designer babies?
Today most designer babies are created with the aim of preventing genetic defects from being inherited through the selection of disease-free embryos by preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). For example, some diseases such as cystic fibrosis and β-thalassemia can be prevented. However, genetic modification will be necessary when all embryos will carry the disease gene from a carrier couple. Recently developed gene editing tools allow scientists to actively create designer babies.
These days the desire for designer babies is increasing during the IVF process. Parents want a child with a particular gene. There is a demand for a beautiful child. People demand that the child should have curly hair. Eyes should be blue. Face Shahrukh Khan, Sachin Tendulkar or I want a child like Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone. But all this is not possible. To have a child like them, their sperm or egg is needed which is not possible.
What is a designer baby?
Nowadays words like in vitro fertilization and egg freezing are becoming a very popular trend. Today we will talk in detail about egg freezing and designer baby during IVF. Twins can happen in IVF cycle. The chances of having twins increase in IVF. For your information, let us tell you that it has increased by 20 to 30 percent. If we compare it with natural pregnancy, then it increases by 6 percent. If you have a history of twins, then there can be triplets in pregnancy as well. This is possible with IVF."text-align: justify;">Side effects of designer babies
One of the most significant downsides revolves around the ethical implications of altering the human germline. Editing genes in embryos can lead to genetic changes, raising concerns about the possibility of designer babies and unintended consequences.
