The front page story in New York Daily News related to a service being offered by an organization, fertility institute, which would allow parent to choose the color of their baby's hair, eyes and skin. Fear of negative public reaction forced the institute to cancel the project but this may be only temporary as the technology is here.
it involves the testing of embryos prior to fertilization in the womb, and is known as preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). it has already allowed thousand of parents to prevent genetic diseases being passed on their children.
A menu of traits can now be offered after examining the genetic structure of embryos and the horrible prospects of breeding the humans with special features, such as height, fighting character-sticks or intelligence may be around the corner. indeed, in certain defense establishment in advance countries, this may even happening today secretly.
