Hello. You did not provide the article to which this question is related. However, when researching your question on the internet, I was able to find a question exactly the same as yours that shows that the question refers to the article "Proposed Treatment to Fix Genetic Diseases Raises Ethical Issues" that shows the attempt of scientists to legally approve the practices to manipulate the DNA present in the maternal egg, to remove possible DNA errors that can cause genetic diseases in babies.

If I were one of the scientists on the team who wants to legalize this practice, I would try to argue against society's concerns about the problems that could arise from this manipulation.

A major concern that people have is that this practice generates "manufactured" babies. I would fight this fear, showing that we would only deal with DNAs that have flaws that can trigger diseases, that is, the modified DNA, would maintain all the characteristics that the baby would normally have, but would only rid him of genetic diseases, which would be very advantageous for the child and the family. This would not create a "manufactured" baby, nor would it cause any adverse reaction to the child or the mother.

In addition, this practice would be performed on very few women, as 1 in 200 women have DNA defects. This shows that this practice would only be used in cases of need and these cases would be very few.
