cientists have recently made revolutionary advancements in genetic engineering t

cientists have recently made revolutionary advancements in genetic engineering that would allow people to create “better babies” through genetic modification. Scientists could potentially manipulate genes for traits like intelligence, obesity, attractiveness [eye color hair color, skin color, height, etc.], hereditary diseases, and even criminality, violence/ aggression.
Read this article before answering the following questions: https://www.vice.com/en/article/bmv7qa/bioethicist-julian-savulescu-argues-for-engineering-babies-that-will-have-an-easy-life
1. Summarize Savulescu’s argument in the article? What reasons does he give? Be detailed and this must be in your own words. Do not copy from the article.
2.  What are two possible societal problems that could arise from modifying the genetic traits of individuals? Be detailed and specific about the problems. 
3. We already practice some forms of eugenics when parents screen embryos for Down Syndrome or other genetic conditions, or when women pick the “best” sperm donors from a list of desirable traits. Is modifying the genes of embryos any different than aborting an embryo with Down Syndrome or selecting a smart and handsome sperm donor? Is the basic idea behind it the same? Why or why not?
