Biology U2 AOS 3 outcome

[m2121]

I am currently working on my unit 2 - area of study 3: investigation of an issue assessment task. Outcome 3 is about this "Investigate and communicate a substantiated response to a question related to an issue in genetics and/or reproductive science." Does anyone know or have done any research about the ethics of designer babies through the procedure of preimplantation genetic diagnosis? Also are there any good official scientific papers/journal articles which cover this issue that will provide in details the results, method etc.??

Hey m2121!

Funnily enough that was the exact topic I did for Unit 2 

Here's some of the websites I used:

Some case studies:
-The famous tube baby born through IVF: search for Louise Brown on Google, you'll probably know her there's heaps of stuff on the internet on her
-Using IVF&PGD to save sister (I know it's not a .edu website or scientific article but kinda interesting) https://www.cbsnews.com/news/a-genetically-screened-baby-saved-the-life-of-his-sister
