The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) is an executive non-departmental public body of the Department of Health in the United Kingdom. It is a statutory body that regulates and inspects all clinics in the United Kingdom providing in vitro fertilisation (IVF), artificial insemination and the storage of human eggs, sperm or embryos. It also regulates human embryo research.
Of course, on a case by case basis.
Which of course means if you have the money and the political connections, by all means we can design a baby for you.
They didn’t wait for all the evidence for this crap. Just read this this morning.
“CRISPR gene editing produces unwanted DNA deletions”
DNA-cutting enzyme used for genetic modification can create large deletions and shuffle genes.

“The cell will try to stitch things back together,” says mouse geneticist Allan Bradley of the Wellcome Sanger Institute in Hinxton, UK, who led the study. “But it doesn’t really know what bits of DNA lie adjacent to each other.”
Researchers often use CRISPR to generate small deletions in the hope of knocking out a gene’s function. But when examining CRISPR edits, Bradley and his colleagues found large deletions — often several thousand DNA letters long — and complicated rearrangements of DNA sequences in which previously distant DNA sequences were stitched together. The phenomenon was prevalent in all three of the cell types they tested, including a kind of human cell grown in the laboratory.

Some I can understand correct. I am concerned about where the limits are though. Do you think we shouldn’t eliminate birth defects, diseases, etc?
Ultimately it probably won’t matter what laws a country passes. Some country somewhere is going to set no limits. People will be able to go there to get what they want.
oh, no worries, even though DNA from a single cell can exonerate someone in the courts, they will kill whatever doesn’t come out right.
And they wonder why they are being invaded. HA!
Muslim DNA ,LOL
“This is an announcement from Genetic Control..... It is my sad duty to inform you of a four-foot restriction on Humanoid height.”
I'm NOT overweight ... I'm under-tall!
We completely and utterly lack the knowledge to responsibly address those things.
One example, eliminating sickle cell anemia sounds like a good idea.
But in Africa where it is most prevalent it became prevalent because it also helps.those who have it survive malaria.
How many things are like that?
You have to pass bill before you can find out what’s in it.
You have to eliminate genetic oddities before you find out they are prerequisites for surviving forgotten epidemics.
