The main conditions when it comes to whether or not it is morally and ethically acceptable lie within the intent of the modification, and the conditions in which the engineering is done. [59] Ethical claims about germline engineering include beliefs that every fetus has a right to remain genetically unmodified, that parents hold the right to ...
[94] In 2017, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine published a report "Human Genome Editing: Science, Ethics and Governance" that endorsed germline gene editing in "the absence of reasonable alternatives" of disease management and to "improve IVF procedures and embryo implantation rates and reduce rates of miscarriage."
Genetic engineering has always been a topic of moral debate among bioethicists. [3] Even though the technological advancements in this field present exciting prospects for biomedical improvement, it also prompts the need for ethical, societal, and practical assessments to understand its impact on human biology, evolution, and the environment.

A designer baby is a baby whose genetic makeup has been selected or altered, often to exclude a particular gene or to remove genes associated with disease. [1] [2] This process usually involves analysing a wide range of human embryos to identify genes associated with particular diseases and characteristics, and selecting embryos that have the desired genetic makeup; a process known as ...
[145] [146] Another theorist claims that moral concerns limit but do not prohibit germline engineering. [147] A 2020 issue of the journal Bioethics was devoted to moral issues surrounding germline genetic engineering in people. [148] Possible regulatory schemes include a complete ban, provision to everyone, or professional self-regulation.
CRG was the first organization to advance a comprehensive, scientifically based position against human germline engineering. [3] It was also the first to compile documented cases of genetic discrimination , laying the intellectual groundwork for the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA).

The Science and Ethics of Genetic Engineering that fears about the consolidation of power by a few agrochemical companies over farmers is a main argument against new genetic engineering technology in agriculture: "At its extreme, this fear belongs to the conspiracy-theory genre and, to caricature somewhat, envisages powerless farmers forced to ...
