Soon they will have prospective parents sit down with a sketch artist to draw their child so the geneticists can gene splice it into reality.

Next will be the lawsuits due to the child not turning out as promised

I have a blond blue-eyed child. If I could choose, the child would be much darker. I know all the drawbacks of having such pale skin. And I probably am recessive for ginger hair too. I do have red-haired cousins.
