According to the HFEA website hfea.gov.uk they can be an useful regulator commanding stakeholder confidence by establishing compliance with the law. Educate patient choice, securely hold personal data, and maximise public understanding. HFEA also reassure frequently high quality standards of treatment and research in the sector by putting the patient experience first. HFEA can also be an useful organisation with strong governance that adds value and lower bureaucracy. They ensure the HFEA and the sector keep abreast of new scientific and research advancing through continued collaborative working with scientific and professional bodies. They verfiy and address the needs of the HFEA’s many and varied audiences, and specifically to consider the patient experience in all our

Green’s major four points are first, they worry about the effect of genetic selection on parenting. He states that will the ability to choose our children’s biological inheritance lead parents to replace unconditional love with a consumerist mentality that seeks perfections? Second, they ask weather gene manipulation will diminish our freedom by making us creatures of our genes or our parents’ whims. An example Green uses is “In his book Enough, the techno- critic Bill Mckibben asks: if I am a world- class runner, but my parents inserted the “Sweatworks2010 Gene Pack” in my genome, can I really feel pride in my accomplishments? Third, he states that many critics feat that reproductive genetic will widen our social division as the affluent “buy” more competitive abilities of their offspring. Green also states that will we eventually see “speciation,” that emergence to two
