Researchers at Stanford University have concluded that in the near future, people will engage in sex only for their own pleasure and order a child with the specified characteristics.

A team of specialists from the University of Stanford claims that the results of research in the fields of medicine and genetics will allow us in 20-30 years to have enough female skin cells to create a healthy egg, which can then be fertilized with semen collected from the father.

Such children are called "design" by scientists; Parents can choose some features of their future child by choosing an embryo with a certain eye or hair color and an approximate IQ level.

Scientists believe that in a few decades we will be able to artificially grow eggs and then, artificially, fertilize them. This will take account of parents' wishes, writes The Daily Mail.

In order to move forward in research, we need to know the properties of stem cells well, with the help of which we can then create an egg from ordinary women's skin. We will also learn to grow male sperm, so the process of creating a child will be completely artificial.

In the near future, scientists plan to give birth to more children with ideal characteristics through current genetic modification by selection.

The authors point out that these children will not have any hereditary diseases that are transmitted at the genetic level.

Professor of genetics Henry T. Greely is of the opinion that today's mode of reproduction will become a thing of the past in the future. According to him, returnees will remain in society, who will prefer the way of "creating children" after the old age, but their number will decrease with each passing generation. People will appreciate the benefits of a baby's genetic selection, which will also reduce health care costs, and solve infertility problems.
