Script en anglais
If you could design your baby's features, would you? According to LA's fertility Institute, prospective parents can select eye color, hair color and more. The technology is called pre-implantation genetic diagnosis or PGD. It was created to screen for disease, then used for gender selection. Now this clinic plans to allow parents to select physical traits.
“I would predict that by next year, we will have determined sex with a hundred percent certainty on a baby and we will have determined eye color with about an 80% accuracy rate”. Dr. Jeffrey Steinberg is a pioneer in vitro fertilization.
“I think it's very important that we not bury our heads in the sand and pretend that these advances aren't happening”.
Kirsten and Matt Landon used this clinic to select the sex of their daughter. Choosing other genetic traits intrigues them.
“I would have considered traits selection as an option, but not necessarily have gone with it” A recent U.S survey suggests most people support the notion of building a better baby when it comes to eliminating serious diseases, but Dr. Steinberg says using technology for cosmetic reasons shouldn't scare people away.
“Of course once I've got this science, am I not to provide this to my patients? I'm a physician. I want to provide everything science gives me to my patients.”
You've come a long way, baby.
