Five
of my favorite links on the topic of genetic arts:
http://research.mednet.ucla.edu/pmts/germline/
I think this was the best site I looked at concerning the whole
issue of the idea of designer babies. I was sold on the idea of
doing my paper on this topic after looking at the many opinions
people had concerning this issue. I am really interested in the
ethics and the whole science background concerning this extraordinary
idea.

The piece entitled: "The Creation of Organs: Stem-Cell Research"
shows the current debate concerning stem cell research. I thought
that it was depicted in a very interesting way. I am very interested
in the issue of stem cell research and just found this interesting.
Maybe could use this image in the final paper dealing with the designer
baby concepts?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/horizon/designer_babies.shtml
This describes a documentary that will be shown about the possibility
of having designer babies in the future. There is a lot of interesting
facts and information about this topic. It is a good resource with
other links to get more information when needed.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/Print/0,3858,4216584,00.html
This site answers a couple questions concerning the issues of choosing
the sex of your child. This practice has already been used in England.
This provides a good example for the idea of designer babies for
the final paper.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/Archive/Article/0,4273,4307946,00.html
This article discusses some possibilities of where human cloning
is headed, one being the start of designer babies.
http://society.guardian.co.uk/health/story/0,7890,617961,00.html
Just recently in England it looks like the future of designer babies
is closer than I had thought. Apparently the human fertilization
and embryology authority decided to allow this practice on a case
by case basis. Provides great points and an example for a paper
discussing designer babies.

This is a great site with an abundance of information answering
many questions relating to designer babies.

Yet another article concerning the issue of designer babies.
http://www.cwfa.org/library/life/2001-10-12_ivf.shtml
This article will be a good addition to my sources for my paper.
It describes the relationship and effects of sex selection to the
idea of designer babies.
http://www.msnbc.com/news/584767.asp?cp1=1#BODY
This article is about a real life case where embryo manipulation
was used to have a healthy baby born, free of disease.
