“Designer babies” in 30 years?

As per a professor from Stanford University, One need not have sex to procreate! (TOI News dated 5^th July). Parents can choose from a range of embryos created in a lab with their DNA! Body organs can be created in the labs or regrow damaged organs or tissues.

The embryos can be screened for any potential diseases, and can have choice on the color of the hair or the eyes. Certain diseases can be avoided in the future.

Now, where are we heading? No need to marry and gets tied up with one another for life.  Already, some studies have indicated that number of times the married couples having sex has decreased drastically and as of 2014, the number is just 55 times a year. Couples are busy with mobiles or laptops. . Marriage will lose its importance and divorce rates will go up fighting for the type of child the couples would like to have.

The Technology can be misused to create monsters or children without any emotional quotient.

It is time that international organizations such WHO, United Nations wake up to this reality of the technological advances and regulate such activities so the world will not have emotionless monsters, and marriage as an institution will remain for some more time.
