Unlike designer babies, gene therapy is specifically used to treat and prevent life altering diseases and cancers. Genes are what is passed on to your child and if the genes do not produce the correct protein or to much or to less your child could have a genetic disorder. Although this technology has not been approved and is still under experimental trials it will drastically change your future child's life. With either designer babies or gene therapy there are many risks and tests are still being done to ensure that this is a safe way to guarantee that your child will be healthy.
