I've heard about technology now where you can change the genes of a baby still in the womb of a pregnant woman to make it what you want it to look like. That seems kind of weird to me. Some might find it morally wrong because God created us all how he wanted us.
But then again, if you found out that your baby had a certain disorder or disease, wouldn't you want to fix that? Do you find this right or wrong? |

But then how would they be able to change the genes?
They think that variations in the sequence of the CTLA-4 gene might cause diabetes, but they don't know for sure. And how would they be able to correct it? |
