In my mind, the idea of genetically selected babies is wrong. (A) Parent(s) is/are selecting of what they want their child to consist. Sure, it may be for medical purposes, but by picking the "best fit" baby for life, one is denying another embryo the chance to live. If the embryo dies due to something after conception, and it does not develop, that is due to natural reasons. It is not because of a scientist. Doing this messes with the natural order of life. It is not natural selection. By doing this, it COULD (not will) cause a change or a population shift in all organisms on Earth if more and more people start doing this.
If the baby is created for medical reasons to save an already born sibling, it is possible for the parents to not necessarily love that child. They may have had the baby just for the fact that is could save their older child.
