Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Also called genetic engineering (gene editing) put simply, is the ability to modify the genes of some living organisms. However, if biotechnology is been used to modify the traits of unborn babies, there are certain scientific and ethical concerns that arise.

For example, it has been suggested by some scientist that if selections of a particular trait of unborn babies become commonplace, then future generations of babies may begin to inherit these traits thereby reducing the diverse traits we see e hereditary.
