designer baby

термин используется масс-медиа, поэтому ч авторитетными источниками плохо. впрочем, википедия цитирует несколько http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Designer_baby

>И не путайте, пожалуйста, скрининг и отбор фетусов по >генотипу с генотерапией.
хорошо, постараюсь. приведите, пожалуйста, правильный термин, чтобы я могла им пользоваться.

опредление евгеники, опять же, из Википедии:
Eugenics is a social philosophy which advocates the improvement of human hereditary traits through various forms of intervention.[1] Throughout history, eugenics has been regarded by its various advocates as a social responsibility, an altruistic stance of a society, meant to create healthier and more intelligent people, to save resources, and lessen human suffering.
Earlier proposed means of achieving these goals focused on selective breeding, while modern ones focus on prenatal testing and screening, genetic counseling, birth control, in vitro fertilization, and genetic engineering.
