Designer babies - what would you do for a 'healthy' baby?

to inherit their own characteristics.

Parents see different physical, social and intellectual characteristics as desirable depending on the sex of the child.

Older women and childless women are significantly more willing to "improve" the physical, social and intellectual characteristics of prospective children? (This can be explained by women seeking to increase their genetic heredity, particularly when their time to reproduce begins to decrease.)

Both men and women see genetic engineering as acceptable primarily for medical applications.

Reproductive technologies and designer babies will be held in ARTS 01.02 at UEA on Tuesday September 5 from 4-6pm.
