Couples in England and Wales seeking to spawn a transhuman or superhuman Master Race will be given fertility treatment on the NHS starting this tax year.The offer includes access to secret underground laboratories and recombinant DNA splicers thought to cost the tax payer up to a billion euros and a good night’s sleep. Some parents will also have the run of a Balkan château, a dozen free corpses and a nine months’ supply of fork lightning.
“The grant is good in two ways,” explained Science Minister Kenneth Smiley. “One: it’s a change. (In our manifesto we promised change.) Two: it will mean more choice for parents.”
“We’re over the moon!” said scientific parents Marianne and Pauline Rend. “The blueprints of our ten-armed, laser-breathing bundles of solid muscle look soooo cute. We can’t wait to produce them in a vat.”
But the decision is not without its controversy. Critics fear that it could lead to “designer babies”.
“Do we really want a world where parents can chose the eye colour of their unborn offspring?” queried critic Len Happenstrobe.
Currently parents can only chose superficial details about their unborn offspring, such as whether they live or die.
