These days you can’t tell anymore what is real and what is Science Fiction. If you’re surprised by this article, think about what we’ll have in a not so far future:

It will be possible to have a cloned baby of your favorite actor once you know their DNA sequence (you could download it for a price, or pirated). People will have their DNA trademarked. You’ll be able to run a simulation of the DNA sequence of your 4 weeks old baby in gestation and know how he will look, expected IQ, illnesses, etc. so you can decide whether you want to have him or not. And someday, women will be able to have their fertilized eggs removed and implanted into a mechanical “surrogate mother” so that they don’t have to go through the hassle of pregnancy. All for a comfortable price, of course.

Yes, technology can be used for things good, but also for things bad, weird or plain disgusting.

A one bullet test. You have to shoot either Clooney or Voight. Who would you keep alive!

The difference between a regular bank and a sperm bank is that with the latter, you lose interest after making a deposit.

No, I don’t have anyhting serious to say here, are you kidding?

This reminds me of years ago when I was a reporter and had to cover the Nobel Prize Sperm Bank story (yes, there really was a donor’s pool of famous scientists in the early 1980s).

Turns out the first “couple” to give birth to one of the little future geniuses was discovered to have been charged with child abuse years earlier in Illinois.

They still made $10K off the photos, which is another story.

Just picture this:
a baby who looks like George Clooney, but with the mind of … Ahmadinejad. Or Kim North Korea.
Reminds me of Ira Levin’s The boys from Brazil.
Be afraid. Be very Afraid …

I’ve seen really unfortunate looking people have absolutely gorgeous children and visa versa.

This is a really bad idea. What happened to beauty is in the eye of the beholder?

Just creepy.

Seems like I've finally found my niche in life, Ladies. That is if you want your children to resemble Bert Lahr. Bert Lahr

I think I’ve seen pictures of young ladies with strange looking fluids on their faces, which reminds me of this article.
