Can I have a generically modified kid?
Jul 21, 2014

Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
Genetically modified kid is still under experiment where different aspects are being studied ,however there is one done in 2013 .it is the process of emerging and converging which allows parents to pre-fabricate the genetic sequence of their children. New generation gene sequencing, coupled with in-vitro fertilization will allow parents to choose the genetic makeup of their child.it is a new controversial procedure called mitochondrial transfer which will allow parents to create genetically embryos by buying DNA from a superior mother and then transplanting it to their select embryo,They fix the embryo by transferring acceptable mitochondrial DNA from another mother.
There are risks associated with genetic modifications to any organism. New diseases may be introduced accidentally and it is still under study beside it will not be routinely or easy done it will be done under certain circumstances and studied to eliminate certain diseases .
