Designer Babies:What do you think?
Doctors, CBS, Jan.7, 2009
Dr. Steinberg offers everyone the opportunity to pick : eye color, hair color and sex for their babies.
He uses "predictive embryos" which have certain percentage probabilities for getting the traits that the customer desires and the embryo of choice is"transferred in".
What do you think of this?Do you like the technology or find it offensive?What will the result bring us?
