The term Designer      Babies is not a scientific term, but is used by journalists      and highlights the fact that parents could choose specific      characteristics of their unborn child including physical      appearance, character and sex. Advancements in genetic      engineering and in vitro fertilization approaches, coupled      with the need to lower the occurrence of genetic disorders in      offspring, are driving interest in the concept of designer      babies. Ethical issues related to commodification of children      and genetic manipulation in human offspring, are however      projected to present regulatory challenges in the advancement      and commercialization of the concept of designer babies in      the coming years.    <\/p>\n<p>      The trend report titled Designer Babies announced by Global      Industry Analysts Inc., is a focused research paper which      provides cursory insights into the technology concept, its      evolution, and future prospects.
