Today we talk about how to create the perfect child in a lab and whether we should. We talk about choosing a child with specific traits and the larger implications of selecting a child's characteristics through IVF. The conversation explores ethical concerns, the role of the fertility industry, and the unregulated nature of these practices in the U.S. References are made to an article by Emmy Netfield, touching on societal views and the influence of private equity in fertility clinics. We emphasize the importance having a real conversation about the morality of customizing babies and the broader impacts on society.
