+ | **Methodology: | ||
+ | Build a database of Men -or better: a database of their inner and outer qualities. The DNA of every man in the catalogue is sequenced. All men's cognitive and physiognomical qualities are described and related to their DNA. Then it's just a CRISPR-cas9 away to combine them into your ideal baby! The more sperm data is available, the more possibilities for the perfect match.' | ||
- | **research methodology: | ||
- | I will build a public database of Men, with sequenced DNA data and algorithms that translate this information in a selection of ‘qualities and possibilities’ and collects and displays them in a catalogue for possible buyers. | ||
- | The DNA of every man in this database is sequenced. Their inner (emotional, cognitive) and outer (fysionomy) qualities are described and can be isolated from the sequence.
