Method of Madness:
Good point. Also, if gender can be controlled through IVF, I wonder what else can be decided at that stage.

And then, after they've had a child each (hopefully of opposite genders), breed their offspring together, so their genes can at last be pooled to create Tai/Dora adorableness.
Technically, it's not incest.

Not technicaly, but two kids raised together are going to be subject to the Westermarck effect. The SQUICK factor remains.

I don't know, but I just heard a story on Radio Lab where a scientist had succesfully introduced missing red color receptor cones into the eyes of monkeys that lacked them using a retro virus. (is that the right term?)
He then speculated that it would be possible to introduce cones from other species into humans, possibly giving us vision in the ultra violet range. Also, I didn't realise that only men were color blind. The genes for the color receptors are on the X chromosome. Women have a back up in thier second chromosome, so no woman should be color blind. In fact a very small percentage of women have fourth color receptor beyond the usual three the rest of the human race is getting by on. These women can see colors that no man ever will.
Kugai:
Interesting thought
Little Dora and Tai children running around
:D

Actually, it's possible for women to be colorblind too. It's just a much rarer occurrence since it usually requires the defect on both of the X chromosomes. Now if it were carried only on the Y chromosome, then it'd be exclusively male.
