7. Now Dr. Jeffrey Steinberg says he has found the way to take this process one step further by implanting the embryos that give the genetic traits parents want.

現(xiàn)在，斯坦伯格醫(yī)生稱他已經(jīng)找到了方法，通過植入帶有父母想要的遺傳特征胚胎來進一步推進這一過程。

8. But will it work? ABC news spoke to a variety of doctors, who say it is theoretically possible. 

但這可行嗎？美國廣播公司新聞節(jié)目采訪了各方面的醫(yī)生，他們說這在理論上是可能的。

9. "Theoretically, I suppose there is a specific gene that has been discovered to be truly a gene that represents a given trait, that possibly anything can be looked for and potentially identified and applied."

“從理論上講，我想有一種專門的基因已被發(fā)現(xiàn)確實是代表某一特征的。任何基因有可能被發(fā)現(xiàn)，可能得到鑒別和應用。”

10. There are no laws prohibiting this brave new reproductive world, but ethicists say there should be. 

現(xiàn)在還沒有法律禁止生殖領(lǐng)域里這一最新的事態(tài)發(fā)展，但是倫理學家說應當要立法。

11. "Designing your descendents and seeking a perfection is a biggest slipslop we could go on. Are the rich going able to do it and the poor not?"

“設(shè)計你的后代，選擇一個完美的人是我們談論最無聊的話題。是否富人有能力而窮人就沒有能力做呢？”

12. "Are we going to create a kind of some population of the genetically perfect as against everybody else?"

“我們是要創(chuàng)造某種基因完美的人群來與別的人作對照嗎？”

13. Some argue that parents should be not allowed to play god, but Dr. Steinberg makes good on his promise. This may turn out to be reality we all need to confront. 

一些人主張不應讓父母去當上帝，裝作無所不能的樣子。但是斯坦伯格醫(yī)生要實現(xiàn)他的諾言。這可能會成為一個我們都需要面對的現(xiàn)實。
