The Next Step In Human Evolution

The Next Step In Human Evolution By Elton Camp Since human genes have been mapped To new possibilities they have to adapt Perhaps there will come a new way One’s genetic instructions to convey Genes composed of A, T, G and C May be sent just as quick as can be Desired qualities they can then pick Avoid those able to make a child sick For a uterus there will be no need Into a replicator the genes feed Then will come an electronic whirl And out will pop a baby boy or girl

Serious birth defects and genetic disease are rare, but a real tragedy when they do appear. The technology described here is unlikely ever to become a reality. I can imagine a fertilized egg someday being brought to term in some sort of incubator or even in a nonhuman surrogate. Elton
