Stem life line - a stem cell company of San Carlos, will now offer a new service that will not only help a family to contribute for the future treatment of their members but will also help the parents to erase hereditary disease from the family lineage.

Dr Mark Hughes, head of a major embryo-screening company, Genesis Genetics Institute in Detroit, announces on 1st June, 2008 that his In Vitro Technology will soon replace sex as a means of human reproduction .

He says, “It is going to be, ‘Sex is just for fun,’” and “In Vitro Fertilization is going to be for making your children.”

Moreover he claims that by conceiving a child outside the womb, parents will gain the power to erase hereditary disease from family lineage. His company will do that by plucking single cell from the embryos created for clients at In-vitro fertilization clinics. After genetic testing of those sample cells, the embryos that are found free from disease gene will be implanted to cause a pregnancy.

This technique can help the parents who want a baby born with right genetic traits to serve as a tissue or cell donor for a desperately ill brother or sister. Hughes called this technique as “Save Your Siblings” technique.

By this technique the parents can also choose the gender of their children, although Hughes’ company will not provide such type of service.
