Human genetic engineering
Human genetic engineering. Conceptual computer artwork representing the genetic engineering of humans. Sperm cells labelled with bar codes are seen. In the future it may be possible to identify the hereditary characteristics carried by individual sperm cells (male reproductive cells). Sperm selected for these characteristics could be used to produce " designer" babies

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the concept of human genetic engineering through a thought-provoking computer artwork. The image portrays sperm cells, each labeled with unique bar codes, symbolizing the potential for identifying hereditary characteristics carried by individual male reproductive cells in the future. In this visionary depiction, it is suggested that these identified traits could be selectively chosen to create "designer" babies. The idea behind this technology is to engineer specific genetic attributes in offspring by using sperm selected for their desired qualities. The visual representation emphasizes the power of genetic manipulation and its potential impact on human reproduction. It raises ethical questions about the boundaries of science and our role in shaping future generations. While some may view this as an exciting advancement in biotechnology, others may express concerns regarding issues such as cloning or playing God. Ultimately, this image serves as a reminder of how far we have come in understanding genetics and highlights the ongoing debates surrounding human genetic engineering. It invites viewers to contemplate both the possibilities and consequences that lie ahead as we continue to explore advancements in this field.
