these families who program “perfect” children

What if before birth, it was possible to choose the eye color, hair type or even personality traits of future children? All this by selecting an embryo with DNA that would match the parents’ criteria. In the United States, reality has surpassed fiction. The Collins family used in vitro fertilization for their last two little girls. To increase their chance of having a healthy child, the couple asked a laboratory for an analysis of the embryos before fertilization.

If the results allow us to know the risks of illness, the mother did not stop there. She asked a second laboratory to analyze other risks, mental this time, to be sure to select the most efficient embryo. For parents, each person has the right to choose the trait they want for their offspring. The couple is not the only one to follow this trend, since Elon Musk has also positioned himself in favor of pro-natalists.
