Abstract

This article will look at human dignity and values, with Anna, a 13-year-old girl born as a ‘designer baby’ in Jodi Picoult’s My Sister’s Keeper, along with two of the bioethics guidelines of German forensic philosopher Arthur Kaufmann. The first is to acknowledge each person the right to lead a unique life according to his or her qualities, whether ordinary or defective, and the second is not to advertise or implement genetic manipulation to others if you do not want to be in a position of being manipulated by technology. As biotechnology advances, human clone or designer baby will be created as a substitute for treatment for someone. However, human clone and designer baby are precious creatures from the moment they are born as humans, so they have the right to pursue happiness and dignity as human beings. In conclusion, man-made technology should not break the order of society.
