I’m imagining a range of options for single parents who want to have a baby. First, they select the egg and sperm they want to use to create the embryo, or use one of their own if they have sent in a specimen. They can read the bios of the donors with some details redacted.
Then they wait for the embryo to be harvested in the lab, whereupon they receive a list of identified genetic defects and modifications that can be made. It might be like selecting items from a menu but that the menu is dependent upon the outcome of the DNA in the embryo.
Once the embryo reaches a certain stage, it can be sent via courier to the customer’s local insemination center for them to have it implanted in themselves (if they are female), or they could choose to have a surrogate service provided by the company.
Surrogates could be human or artificial wombs, depending upon whether you are old school or happy to use the latest in laboratory womb technology.
In the UK, there is an expression, “Too posh to push”, which means that wealthier women choose to have Caesarian section deliveries so that they don’t have to go through all the uncertainty and pain associated with natural birth (they simply get an epidural). This BaB service takes this a whole step further in that you don’t have to birth your own baby at all.
