Imagine a parent entering a room that looks like a conference room. On a table is a sheet of paper with numerous questions that many people would like to have control over.
Options such as hair color, skin color, personality traits, and other physical appearances are listed on the sheet.
Once you have filled in the questions, a baby appears as described just before. The baby is in perfect health and looks perfect in every way.

Uddrag
In the first few minutes of his speech, he tells a story in the story, we are to imagine ourselves in fifteen years' time with a daughter or a son who is a natural baby, and she/he is called a natural baby because they have no genetic material.
Knoepfler also describes how the mother and father of Marianne are not accepted by the social circle because they do not possess a genetically modified baby.
Regardless of whether the story is true or false, it is still very thought-provoking to consider the possibilities that in 15 years it is common and normal for people to "make" their own babies and if you refuse to do so you would be weird and push out of the society.
