The Brave New World Of Reproductive Technology
If you could, would you have a "perfect" baby? One that was not only 100 per cent healthy, but also the preferred gender, colour and colouring - and that appeared at the desired time in your life?

Recent advances have given us genetic screening of embryos, post-menopausal motherhood, embryos by mail order and Dolly the sheep. What next?
