I'm not sure how you get from open sourcing "process, costs, contracts, protocols, assays, cell lines and data" to open sourcing a baby as "process, costs, contracts, protocols, assays, cell lines and data" is not a "baby" nor is it the source code of a baby.
If they licensed their Baby's DNA under some open source license then maybe we could say that they were open sourcing their baby, but:
- Don't think that is what they were doing.
- Not sure they own the copyright of their baby's DNA.
- Don't think that would be legal to do.

It's not really click bait as it is in good faith, and it isn't really misleading to anyone who can understand the bias of tech people to relate everything they do to their passion. It isn't a journalistic article and so the writer should be forgiven for using a touch of their creativity with the title. Had this been from a news organization I would probably feel rather differently.
