Published by Dramatic Publishing
1 Male 2 Female
Seven years ago, Wesley and Marian's son, beset with a multitude of inherited maladies, died a tragic death
Vowing they would never again have a natural child, they have contacted Designer Genes, Inc., to create the perfect son who will bring them only happiness and joy
Alice Fleming, the company rep for Designer Genes, Inc, has arrived with her sample cases to make her pitch-golden hair and blue eyes, the flexibility of a gymnast, the mathematical computation skill of an Einstein - whatever they wish
But there have been glitches along the road to genetic bliss and some experimental subjects exhibited bizarre behavior
The play explores the ethics and moralities involved when Science manipulates Nature
