Today, the only traits that be identified are a number of serious genetic diseases. Until a few years ago, parents who have access to genetic testing techniques are able to accurately determine their offspring's sex. It is predicted that in a decade or two, parents will be able to determine physical characteristics such as how tall their child will be, eye color, hair color, and body type. One day, they may be able to control a child's IQ and personality type. If genetic therapy lives up to its promise, parents will be able to rule out undesired traits and replace them with desired traits. A list of options might one day be presented in a lab for the parents to pick and choose how there child will look and act.
