False

Nutrition before, during and after pregnancy directly impacts the health of a mother and baby. Prior to becoming pregnant, women should achieve and maintain a healthy weight. If a woman is overweight or obese, she should follow a reduced-calorie diet until she achieves a healthy weight. Once pregnant, a woman's energy needs increase due to the growth and development of the fetus as well as maternal tissues and an increase in the mother's blood supply.

kirill [66]

Also called genetic engineering (gene editing) put simply, is the ability to modify the genes of some living organisms. However, if biotechnology is been used to modify the traits of unborn babies, there are certain scientific and ethical concerns that arise.

For example, it has been suggested by some scientist that if selections of a particular trait of unborn babies become commonplace, then future generations of babies may begin to inherit these traits thereby reducing the diverse traits we see e hereditary.
