In the United States, there are no binding rules that restrict a private clinic from offering a menu of traits or from implanting them into a woman with a collection of embryos. A few weeks after Nadya Suleman, a single, unemployed California mother that was living on food stamps, gave birth to octuplets through in-vitro fertilization. She demonstrated that routine uses of reproductive technologies are not always unethical and unsafe. After the 33- year old Suleman was implanted by her physician with six embryos, two of which split into twins, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine suggested that no more than two embryos can be transferred to anyone over the age of 35 because of risk complications.
