Designer babies
Designer babies. Conceptual computer artwork of human babies and two strands of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), representing designer babies. The genetic screening of human embryos for desired characteristics, such as eye colour or sex, might in theory allow parents to " design" a child. Screening for certain inherited disorders is widely performed, however screening on non- medical grounds is highly controversial. DNA, the genetic material present in every cell of the body, is comprised of two spiralling strands (blue). The sequence encoded on it makes up an individuals unique genetic code

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This thought-provoking print captures the concept of designer babies through a mesmerizing blend of engineering and illustration. The image showcases two adorable human babies surrounded by two strands of DNA, symbolizing the potential for designing children with desired characteristics. In theory, genetic screening during embryo development could enable parents to customize their child's eye color or even gender. While screening for inherited disorders is widely accepted, this controversial practice raises ethical concerns when used for non-medical reasons. The intricate blue spiraling strands represent DNA, which holds an individual's unique genetic code in every cell of their body. This visual representation emphasizes the significance and complexity of our biological makeup. The artwork serves as a reminder that advancements in embryology and genetic engineering have opened doors to unprecedented possibilities. However, it also prompts us to reflect on the moral implications associated with manipulating nature's course. By showcasing this conceptual computer artwork, Science Photo Library invites viewers to contemplate the delicate balance between scientific progress and societal values. It encourages discussions around bioethics, cloning, genetics, and medical advancements while urging us to consider how far we are willing to go in shaping future generations according to our preferences.
