Design a Baby: It's Like Sim-City, Only Instead of a Computer City, It's a Real Baby

America is a consumer driven society, and soon, the ultimate accessory will be available...

CUSTOM DESIGNED BABIES.

Want your kid to have blue eyes and blond hair? Done. Want junior to be cancer resistant? Okeedokey. Want the kid to be a jock? Can do.

It's amazing stuff, and it's not that far off. Already they are holding expos where vendors set up brightly colored booths and hawk 'cutting-edge baby making technology' which, incidentally, is the copyright protected name I have given my penis. HA! I wrote this post just to make that joke.

Once this stuff becomes reality the religious right will shit, and part of me is inclined to agree with them. This is frightening stuff. Kids with price tags? I don't suppose anyone here has seen Gattica?

On the other hand, there are some breathtakingly ugly children in this particular area of Souf Central Souf Dakota. I mean, it's tough to look at them. So, maybe made to order babies aren't such a bad idea.

if you continue to call your peep 'cutting-edge baby making technology', I am certain none of your teachers will ever sleep with you.

in fact, i think most women, in general, are actually looking for the OPPOSITE of 'cutting-edge baby making technology' in your age bracket.
