Designer babies in the near future?

A doctor who was pushed the envelope with some disease finding machinery, has recently announced that he will be, this fall, using the equipment to choose not only the sex of a child but also hair color, eye color, and even skin tone. Doctor Jeff Steinberg has announced that as soon as this upcoming fall he will be able to determine and change traits of unborn children at a genetic level. He added that he can not guarantee that the results will be 100% correct but he did say that the service would cost 18,000 dollars per child and would only be able to determine and change some traits.

A rare pink Iguana evades Darwin...(summary)

Scientists have recently discovered an Iguana that was first thought, by Darwin, to be the newest descendant in the Iguana family. As it has become appearent from the many DNA tests that have been conducted by scientists in the area, the Iguana subdivision is over 5.7 million years old. The Iguana has several new traits that are in contrast to the rest of the Iguana family such as its constant head bobbing that portrays the animal as dominant. Scientists also believe that this "new" extension has been around since before the Galapagos Islands were completely formed into the shape that they are today.

The Egg Lab

From the egg lab we discovered that when an egg is submerged in a hypotonic solution such as water, the egg will gain mass. This is opposite for a Hypertonic solution such as cornsyrup. When placed in cornsyrup the egg loss mass. This is data that we are very confident in(it had an p value of .006 and an r value of .97 which are surprisingly accurate results.)In the future the concentrations should be less varried to show more accurate results. They should also be measured more exactly.
