1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam.

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 2: Nation the pub test today designer babies do they pass

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 2: the pub test?

4
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 3: Well.

5
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 4: We spoke to Genevieve Gannon. She's written a novel called Inheritance,

6
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 4: but in doing so she researched a lot about all

7
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 4: the clinics around the world that are offering all kinds

8
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 4: of designer babies.

9
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 2: And there's one thing you can take away, like the

10
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 2: alcohol gene or the gene for mental health and things

11
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 2: like that.

12
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 4: Or the gene for disease. Inheritable diseases may be, but

13
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 4: you can also get this.

14
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 5: And we're hearing really interesting stories out of the clinics

15
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 5: over there, famous singers coming in and saying, can you

16
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 5: make our child a famous singer?

17
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 4: We don't have that. We have rules here in Australia

18
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 4: where you cannot manipulate the genes. Overseas, they don't have that.

19
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: In America. You can. You can choose, So if you've

20
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 2: got a bunch of girls in your house and you

21
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 2: want a boy, you can go over there and manipulate that.

22
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 4: I can see why parents would want to get rid

23
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 4: of inherited disease. Who wouldn't want their child to be

24
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 4: disease free? But where do you draw the line on

25
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 4: what the technology can do design a baby. So they

26
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 4: passed the pub test.

27
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 6: Oh, it's absolutely ridiculous.

28
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: I love that we are all different. What is the

29
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: world coming to know? Because some people are selfish. If

30
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,199
Speaker 1: there wasn't tapeguard, they would do that topic.

31
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 6: Look, I feel like if we start allowing things like this,

32
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 6: society who are never happy already will never be happy unless.

33
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 3: We get what we want. I think some things in

34
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 3: life are left a chance, whether it's a boy or girl,

35
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 3: blonde or brown. You need to let the universe do

36
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 3: its things.

37
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: At the end of the universe do its thing.
