Fertility Clinic to Offer Custom-Designed Babies
Arlington – Soon, parents will be able to custom-design the baby of their dreams if fertility clinic owner Dr. Jeff Steinberg has his way. Within the next six months, parents can order the exact eye, hair and skin color of their baby as well choosing the gender from one of the two fertility clinics Steinberg owns in Los Angeles and Manhattan.
Steinberg believes that custom-designed babies are the future of fertility clinics but many of his detractors are outraged at his use of embryo cell analysis. The technology was meant to help doctors identify possible diseases or conditions in embryos, not help fertility clinics to offer custom-designed babies.
Steinberg, who was a member of the team that created the first test tube baby in 1978, has been offering parents the option of choosing the sex of their baby for years. Now he is taking it one step further by offering parents the chance to custom-design their dream baby. However, he does admit that the technology isn’t 100% perfect. He also states that parents of Scandinavian heritage have the best results because their gene pool is less diluted.
While creating a custom-designed baby may be good news to some parents, many groups are up in arms about using this technology to create the perfect baby. Right-to-life groups and bioethicists are slamming Steinberg for offering such a service and some have even likened custom-designed babies to creating a master race. Currently there is no state or federal laws against fertility clinics creating custom-designed babies.
Steinberg already has orders from parents for his new service and he expects the first custom-designed baby to be born in 2010.
What, we’re not screwed up enough as is?! Great, now are parents can fuck us up before birth. How cool is that? Just tattoo your whole face to get rid of what your parents designed for you and then made you hate by doing a bad job of raising you. Let’s just blow up the planet and get it over with.
