Steinberg, who helped produce the first test-tube baby, admits the technology is not 100 percent perfect, & says best results are couples with Scandinavian heritage, whose gene pools are least diluted. Critics, though, have blasted the idea of designer babies, likening it to the pursuit of a master race.
