  • "John and Naomi are grieving the death of their four-year-old son from a rare genetic disorder. They desperately want another child, but they realize the odds of their next child contracting the same disease are high. Then they hear about geneticist Dr Leo Dettore. He has methods that can spare them the heartache of ever losing another child to any disease. At his clinic is where their nightmare begins. They should have realized something was wrong when they saw the list. Choices of eye colour, hair, sporting abilities. They can literally design their child. Now it's too late to turn back. Naomi is pregnant and already something is badly wrong . . ."
  • "After the death of their four-year-old son from a rare genetic disorder, John and Naomi Klaesson learn that if they have another baby there's a high risk the same thing will happen. Desperate to avoid going through the pain of losing another child, the couple visit a clinic located on a converted cruise ship in international waters, free from any legal restraints, run by a maverick geneticist, Dr. Leo Dettore. For $400,000, they can choose all the genes of their child--literally have a designer baby. However, they don't want half the choices on offer, they just want a healthy child. Dettore tells them that if they don't do all they can, they will risk their child being born in a genetic "underclass" because so many parents will be enhancing theirs..."@en
  • "When a young couple join a fertility programme run by a clinic in America they little suspect that the happy day that follows is the last day of mankind's evolutionary supremacy. Their child is wonderfully clever, wonderfully well adjusted. Perfect in fact. Genetically modified in secret he and the other children born as a result of the programme, have a strange bond. They know they are different, they know they are better. None of the parents knew what the clinic was really doing. Unfortunately neither did the clinic. Mankind is about to be left in an evolutionary backwater. The children will move on, they don't need us. But a child needs its parents. Can the love between a parent and child survive the blind march of genes?"
  • "Le fils de John et Naomi meurt à l'âge de 4 ans d'une maladie génétique rare. Dévastés, ils rencontrent le docteur Leo Dettore, un généticien qui leur promet son aide pour que leur prochain enfant ne soit pas atteint de la même pathologie. Le médecin crée des enfants sur mesure et lorsque le début de grossesse de Naomi pose problème, il est trop tard pour faire machine arrière.--[Memento]."
