The New York doctor that planned on opening fertility clinics in Manhattan and Los Angeles that would offer prospective parents the ability to choose some of their babies' traits, is limiting the scope of his offer, a New York newspaper is reporting.
The New York Daily News originally reported that Dr. Jeff Steinberg said that within 6 months, he would open clinics that would allow parents to potentially choose genetic traits such as their children's eye, hair, and even skin, color. He said since the story broke and was picked up by other news outlets, he has been flooded with too many calls to let his plans proceed as originally envisioned.
