HEADLINE FROM THE FUTURE

2020 DATING SERVICES FIND YOUR PERFECT MATE

It took 10 years and millions of dollars to sequence the estimated 25,000 genes that make up the human genome. Today, for the price of a medical checkup, you can have your personal genome sequenced, scanned for mutations, and uploaded to your computer within hours. The technology is a boon for dating services, which now allow users to post their gene profiles and preferences online. For a hefty fee, these companies will even analyze your genetic compatibility with selected mates and predict health risks for potential offspring. The prospects look rosy for elite progeny.
