Design-a-baby

What if you could have your perfect vision of a child? It's tempting. We have amazing freedom to pick all sorts of things, so why not your child's hair and eye color. Or maybe you'd like him to become a gourmet chef.

Parents want the best for their children, this might be the next step.
One doctor says it's possible with a technology called pre-implantation genetic diagnosis or PGD.

Since this story first appeared, the doctor has been bombarded with requests. So much so that he says he'll not perform the procedure for cosmetic reasons right now, just for people who are worried about things like color blindness. If you could redesign yourself, what would you add? Do you want to be taller, a different race?
