My opinion is that we are not ready to take this leap. Sometimes we know HOW to do things that we may not have enough sense about.
It reminds me of when babies learn to walk and then run. They know how, but they don't have the common sense about when and where to run. We're in a bit too much of a rush.
And I am a scientist.

no because we would disturb the balance of nature, uniqueness is good but by designer babies there r specific features that most people would consider beautiful and we do not want a bunch of people looking the same and being smart we want that thrill of competition and if everyone was smart it would be boring

designer babies is a wishful thinking, we were evolved to be different not the same, it is because we are differnt new thought processes evolve and we dont look same, see same , do same and die the same way, if some one wants them then they r trying to play god and spoiling future existence of humans
