Soon Couples trying to become pregnant will increasingly opt for designer embryos conceived and chosen in the laboratory, according to Professor Henry Greely.
The genetics expert, from Stanford University in the US, claims that within 20 to 40 years most couples will conceive using IVF.
He is convinced future humans will be so worried about genetic diseases they will not want to risk leaving their pregnancy to nature. That will spell the beginning of the end for sex for procreation, he believes.
After a couple have decided to have a baby, says Professor Greely, they will provide scientists with a sperm and skin sample – with the latter used to make stem cells and then create eggs.
These will be sent to a lab to create 100 embryos, the best of which will be chosen to be implanted into the woman’s womb.
