916:"380024 06: A close up of a microscope slide taken at the Reproductive Genetics Institute''s Chicago laboratory shows a similar controversal procedure conducted recently by the Reproductive Genetics Institute in Chicago. A team of research doctors recently transplanted stem cells taken from the umbilical cord of a baby boy whose embryo was chosen specifically to save his six year old sister who suffers from Franconi''s anemia, an inherited disorder that causes a massive failure of bone marrow cell production and which is usually fatal. The sister, Molly Nash, is recovering from the $100,000 procedure at a Minneapolis hospital. Critics of the procedure warn that the practice of cell transplantation raises ethical issues and that "creation for donation" might one day lead to "designing your descendants" for pre-screened traits such as eye color, strong limbs or intelligence.
