ASRM Today: Book Review of Designing Babies: How Technology is Changing the Ways We Create Children with author Dr. Robert L. Klitzman

In this fascinating conversation with Dr. Robert L. Klitzman, we delve into the topics discussed in his book, "Designing Babies: How Technology is Changing How We Create Children." Dr. Klitzman, a renowned professor of psychiatry at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, brings a unique perspective to the table as we explore the ethical implications of reproductive medicine and technology.

Dr. Klitzman discusses the importance of understanding people's perspectives and motivations when it comes to reproductive technologies. He explains how qualitative approaches, inspired by anthropologist Clifford Geertz's concept of "thick description," allow for a deeper understanding of individuals' beliefs and experiences. By listening to the voices of those involved in the infertility industry, including medical professionals and patients, Dr. Klitzman uncovers nuanced insights that challenge preconceived notions and shed light on overlooked issues.

We also touch on the conflicts that arise in the realm of reproductive technologies and delve into the controversial topic of CRISPR gene editing technology and its potential impact on human reproduction.

Join us as we navigate the intricate world of reproductive technologies, ethics, and societal implications with the esteemed Dr. Robert L. Klitzman. This thought-provoking conversation will challenge your perspectives and shed light on the complex landscape of designing babies.
