If the birth defect is genetic, then the baby is going to be born with it, unless they get to it at the stage where it's still a single cell, which isn't going to happen unless it's a 'test tube' baby or whatever. The principle of being unable to change the DNA of an already existing organism still stands in this case. And I can't think of a gene that would enable a plant to grow just as well with less water. Harsher environments maybe, but without completely changing the plant, amount of water is going to stay the same.
Morality is a problem because our governments and decided laws seem to have to abide with what silly Catholics think, saying this and that is inhumane or 'immoral' or whatever.
