Gene therapy is being explored as a means of permanently correcting a defective gene to cure a disease rather than to merely treat symptoms with drugs. Ideally, it would be best to correct these defective genes before a baby is even born. But if it's possible to change diseased genes, what about changing genes that regulate other characteristics, such as height or eye color? Would it be desirable to change the genes of babies for more cosmetic purposes?
