ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on how genetic innovations in medicine create new moral challenges. It analyzes main reasons for and against the use of genetics for the selection of in-vitro fertilized embryos before transfer for implantation. The chapter explains main reasons for and against the use of genetics for the selection of in-vitro fertilized embryos before transfer for implantation. It presents about the moral issues facing the possibility of human genetic enhancement (HGE). Genetic engineering, sometimes called 'modern eugenics,' opened a road for the direct manipulation of an organism's gene in order to alter it in a controlled way. Advances in genetic engineering might one day make it possible to create designer babies. The scope of powers and capacities eligible for such genetic enhancements is quite wide. In fact modest bioliberalism (sufficientarianism) can be combined with modest conservatism to contend that HGEs aiming at improvement, not perfection, are morally permissible but should not be administered until they become safe.
