SEX could become a thing of the past within 30 years as parents-to-be will be able to design their babies in a LAB, a respected scientist has claimed.

…

Hank Greely, the director of Stanford University’s Law School’s Center for Law and the Biosciences, says that couples will have a range of embryos created in a laboratory from their DNA.

…

However, Mr Greely says that by doing this, parents will also be able to pick features such as hair colour and eye colour.

…

Speaking at the Aspen Ideas Festive, Mr Greely said: “People, particularly where I live in Silicon Valley, will want to do it to get their perfect egg.”

He added: “I don’t think we’re going to be able to say this embryo will get a 1550 on its two-part SAT.
