Transgenic humans. Designer babies. Terrifying for some and terribly exciting for others, genetic engineering has been a much explored topic of Sci-Fi for many years. Books and movies like Gataca, The Demolition Man, and others have painted pictures of a future world where people are not just born, but thoroughly engineered.
Is this future already here? Are we fast moving into an age where sex is no
