Yahoo! News - Barcode That Baby, Maybe Says Embryology Body
Yahoo! News - Barcode That Baby, Maybe Says Embryology Body: "LONDON (Reuters) - Sperm and eggs from couples trying for a test-tube baby could in future be barcoded to avoid emotionally devastating mix-ups, according to Britain's human fertility watchdog.



The move is designed to prevent a repeat of the case in 2002 when two white parents using IVF had mixed race twins after a clinic error.

'We are always looking for new ways to ensure safety and consistency in laboratory practice,' a spokesman for the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority (HFEA) said on Wednesday."
