NPR - Designing Babies

Ronald Green who's book I'm reading right now "Babies by Design" talked at NPR today, the title of the program was: Genetically Engineering a 'Perfect' Baby

I tried to call in but it was too late..

I left a note at the blog:

My 4 year old daughter is a savior sibling a.k.a. designer baby. I like to call her "One Fit Savior".
Specialists from a clinic in Chicago helped us select an embryo (6 cells) that had compatibility with my son who was born with a terminal disease. After birth she donated umbilical cord and bone marrow stem cells for her brother. He had a stem cell bone marrow transplant 3 and a half years ago and after a very long and difficult recovery, he's cured. Treatments like this one will help us find a cure for many diseases like diabetes, sickle cell anemia, parkinson's, alzheimer's, spinal cord injury...

Researchers need help. Theres a lot to be done regarding stem cell research.

We will be able to swap healthy cells for damaged ones with cells that are a perfect match for a patient's own. This will restore health and life to patients now without hope.

This will cure currently incurable diseases.

This will revolutionize medicine.
