Perfect made to order babies. They won’t be ready for Christmas though. It costs a lot, but if you get what you want then it’s worth it, for example a girl, not a boy in this case. Or, the right eye colour:
The same goes for details less crucial than avoiding disease, as Steinberg is about to reintroduce a service that caused quite a stir when he first announced it back in 2009: the ability to select your baby’s eye color. “We put it on hold because there was such an outcry. Even the Vatican called [to protest],” he says. “But there is so much demand for it. We’ve got a waiting list of 70 to 80 people.”
P.S. This is sarcasm as I don’t really believe that ordering the gender, eye colour or babies in general is a good idea. In fact, I must confess to being against IVF in every circumstance, for heterosexual couples as for homosexual couples. These are thorny, tough questions–painful, emotional–especially in my demographic of great women who really want a family but are getting older in the context of fertility. So I shouldn’t tread here flippantly.
