What does it mean to plan for a future child in an age where science can shape more than just the hopes we hold? As genetic engineering becomes increasingly precise, parents are faced with profound questions: Should we screen for diseases before conception? Could we, or should we, go further—selecting traits not out of necessity, but preference? This discussion invites you to explore the intersection of science, ethics, and identity at a moment when the boundaries between medical advancement and social values are becoming less clear._x000D_

Together, we’ll examine how genetic testing is already helping families reduce the risk of inherited illness, and where it may be headed in the near future. What happens when these technologies are accessible to some but not others? Are we inching closer to a world of “designer babies,” and if so, what are the consequences for society, equality, and human connection? Let’s open the door to a deep, balanced conversation on the science shaping our future families._x000D_
