Babies to order is a hot topic right now. Adrian Mathew鈥檚 Vienna Blood is
set in the future鈥攂ut it is science thriller rather than science fiction.
The dateline is Vienna, 2026, and the scenario is what might happen if
unscrupulous genetic engineers have access to IVF and maternity clinics. It鈥檚 a
little obvious how the neo-Nazi subplot ties in with the main story (racially
targeted biological warfare), but this novel does highlight some of the ethical
problems we should be considering as genetic science develops. Published by
Jonathan Cape, 拢10, ISBN 0224059335.
