The Lottery

About the Book

With the first IVF treatments, many skeptics rejected the process due to the possibility of something going wrong. But with time, this new way of conceiving became accepted throughout the world. But there is always a danger that somebody might come up with an unethical and dangerous idea to influence the process of fetal development in order to be able to offer his or her services to the people who would be prepared to pay enormous sums and in this way endanger the lives of the innocent newborn.

With time and effort, some of the ideas, impossible today, might be achievable in the future and it could go beyond our present understanding but we should be on guard that it does not go beyond our control.
