Geneticist
[Vincent's parents are planning a second child, and are shown four candidate embryos]

You have specified hazel eyes, dark hair and fair skin. I've taken the liberty of eradicating any potentially prejudicial conditions. Premature baldness, myopia... alcoholism and addictive susceptibility... propensity for violence, obesity, etc.

Antonio Freeman

We were just wondering if it's good to leave a few things to chance?

Geneticist

Keep in mind, this child is still you. Simply the best of you. You could conceive naturally a thousand times and never get such a result.
