Eye Color Selection
Eye color selection begins with examining your personal and family eye color genetics history as parents to be. We will determine if you possibly carry the genes associated with the ability to produce a baby with a chosen eye color. If the necessary building blocks or codes may be present, based on the provided genetics information, we allow parents the opportunity to enter the program to produce embryos destined to be tested for general genetic health (euploidy), gender if desired and specific eye color genes.
Eye color selection is for:
-
Couples who want to choose their child's eye color
-
Parents who want to determine the possibility of having child with a different eye color than their own
The process,
explained simply.
-
The Fertility Institutes have developed a unique, proprietary screening protocol studying a complex set of important family historic and personal genetic landmarks in parents known to be associated with eye color. We will examine your personal and family eye color genetics history as parents to be and determine if you possibly carry the genes associated with the ability to produce a baby with a chosen eye color.
-
If the necessary building blocks or codes may be present, based on the provided genetics information, we allow parents the opportunity to enter the program to produce embryos destined to be tested for general genetic health (euploidy), gender if desired and specific eye color genes.
-
Undergoing the actual fertility procedure that will allow our scientists and physicians to examine the embryos you produce with in vitro fertilization to determine which, if any of the embryos carry the genes necessary to greatly increase the chance of the chosen eye color.
-
These genetic results about each individual embryo will be presented to you, and together with your physicians, geneticist and IVF scientists, you will be offered the opportunity to specify which embryo or embryos you elect to have returned to you in the hopes of producing a healthy pregnancy. You will also be given the opportunity to store any healthy unutilized embryos for future transfer.
