You've heard of Build-a-Bear, well now you can Build-a-Baby.
From nydailynews.com:
A fertility clinic's promise to deliver the ultimate in designer babies - letting parents choose eye, hair and even skin color - is sparking a worldwide uproar.
Dr. Jeff Steinberg has already let thousands decide their kids' gender. Now he says that within the next six months, the Manhattan and L.A. offices of his Fertility Institutes will let would-be moms and dads pick whether junior has blue or brown eyes or black or blond hair.
"In the process of doing gender selection ... we've also uncovered the technology [to] characterize things like eye and hair color," said Steinberg, 54.
What do you think about this? Would you ever want control over your child's gender and features?

That's just too much. People are always trying to play God. Why can't you just be happy with the child you're natually supposed to have. This is just sickening.
