Forget the custom-baby angle, did anyone catch this little nugget?
" Their tests cannot recognize every possible shade, but they are specific enough to distinguish between brown, blue and mottled brown-blue eyes, as well as brown, black, blonde and red hair. Such studies are intended to help solve crimes, but clinicians at fertility clinics could easily adapt the strategies for PGD. "
Sounds like a lot sooner (now?) law enforcement will be able to determine a lot more about a potential suspect with just DNA. Or am I not reading that correctly?

- PeterisP 13y agoThat's exactly what the're saying - law enforcement has had that ability (DNA -> likelihoods of visual properties, not 100% accurate of course) for some time already, and they can use it on embryos as well.
