(Im)possible Baby / Ai Hasegawa (JP)
After taking genetic information from a same-sex couple to generate DNA data for the children they might have together, the results were used to produce “family photographs.” Though a same-sex couple cannot conceive a child using current technology, based on the genetic information it is possible to predict what kind of baby they would have. After obtaining the couple’s DNA data from a genetic analysis service called “23andMe” and uploading it to the *(Im)possible Baby* Simulator, the program randomly generated genetic profiles for their children. With advances in stem-cell research, having children may no longer be a fantasy for same-sex couples.
