Imagine if you could choose your baby the same way you pick out a new outfit from a catalogue. Perhaps some blue eyes, a bit of curly hair, and why not make her tall, lean and smart? One fertility doctor now says that this is a possibility at his clinic.
Dr. Jeffrey Steinberg has already helped thousands of couples choose their child's gender at his fertility institutes in Manhattan and Los Angeles. Within six months, he says, the clinic will offer a new service: allowing couples to select the physical traits of their babies.
Steinberg says he cannot promise that people will get their selections, but claims he can dramatically increase the probability, to about 80% certainty.
What do you think of the concept? Should selection of' designer babies' be illegal and physical traits be left to nature? Or perhaps you can't see the harm in allowing couples to choose?
