What a difference a decade makes. It looks like Gattaca is getting real but I never thought it would happen in my lifetime. I know so many couples that go through IVF. I am thankful that science can help those who would not have been able to conceive naturally in the past whether because of age or fertility issues. I'll probably go through this as well.

Is my understanding correct that if one has IVF, the parents can choose the gender and traits (hair and eye color - applies more for caucasians) and the "healthiest" embryo and if the embryo is for example downs then parents can choose to terminate?

Anyway, I am aware that a lot of Filipinas want children from white/caucasian men but this is the first time I came across a transaction on EGGS. If a Filipina wants a half blood then she can just get pregnant by a caucasian which has been going on since time immemorial kaya we have so much artistas and beauty queens na half caucasian. I wonder who wants these eggs? Maybe a gay man, gay couple or a straight couple? Dapat ma tackle ni KMJS eto

My friend got this from the viber GC in her condo. She lives in an upper class area pero bakit yung text parang galing Payatas (bentahan ng kidney, sperm and egg) LOL. My friends were teasing me e hindi naman ako pure saka konti na nga lang eggs ko, I am saving it for myself LOL



Iba yata yung sinasabi mo, it's a practice in IVF that was banned in the US (last I heard), I believe the term is "designer babies". Ang alam ko mayroon sa pinas eh screening ng mga sakit ng fertilized egg, preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD).

Sa St Luke's at TMC meron PGD. Pero it costs money daw every time you discard and fertilize a new egg. Kaya mahal. This was discussed somewhere here in tsikot some few years ago, forgot which forum.
