okay for the sciencey side: humans have used gene experiments such as the human genome experiment to find out the entire dna structure in humans. this means they know which genes make what; in this story set in the future most babies are made through gene splicing or augmentation meaning the parents decided on the characteristics of their baby. this was originally only made so that the baby would not have genetic diseases but designer babies are possible however there are a feeew cons such as: ethically, as demonstrated in the story (religous groups were against designer babies, calling them soulless) bullying issues, if a baby is not designer then its a lower class and financially it costs a lot to engineer the genes - though in the long run due to no genetic disorders, the human would not require costing treatments.
