In "Designer Babies" by Clay Farris Naff, the story explores the ethical dilemmas surrounding genetic engineering and designer babies in a near-future society. As advanced technology enables parents to customize their offspring's traits, a couple grapples with the implications of their choices. The narrative delves into the moral complexities of playing God, the societal pressures to achieve perfection, and the unforeseen consequences of tampering with nature. With a deeply personal story at its core, the characters must navigate love, ambition, and the true meaning of humanity in a world where every aspect of life can be engineered.
