Most of us below the line are done with reproduction but you kids have new options we didn't have.

You could have babies (for $100,000 each) that will be free of the 3% risk of genetic disease.) No they are not clones, they are made from the gametes of both parents but they are harvested from normal skin cells.

That right skin cells can be turned into eggs or sperm however sperm presents no problem of availability. No more archaic egg harvesting.

It is ready for approval by the FDA.

Ethical concerns of stealing skin cells from famous people or even the well preserved dead is ameliorated by he cost.

There maybe a MISSISIPPI or two that ban the procedure so reproductive tourism to California or Maryland is likely.


While we will continue to have sex, reproduction will have something new for you.
