The quest for the “perfect child” knows almost no bounds. From the Washington Post opinion blog by Melinda Henninger: “Exceptional egg donor needed,” said a recent ad in the Harvard Crimson.

This is Huxley’s Brave New World

This video has really struck a chord. We've received a number of notes on how it has helped people in thinking about (and communicating about) reproductive technologies.

This summer CBC founder and president Jennifer Lahl was interviewed for a documentary on reproductive technologies for German TV. Jennifer's segment, aptly titled "This is Huxley's Brave New World," is available online (the interview is in English with German subtitles).

This is why we do what we do. It's just one example of the worldwide impact you are having through your support of the CBC.
