If we knew the human DNA and could manipulate the genetic code,the future generations might be at our mercy, and that of the imperfect society that we are constituting... The project is not a fictive game with still unexamined possibilities of genetic and it does not aim to popularise scientific discoveries. It is rather a sort of experimental observation of the development of consciousness and science. It raises a simple question:

To what extent are we prepared to participate in all that we have made possible and that we yearn to make possible for ourselves?

The project is based on the interaction between the Internet users who choose one after another among different possibilities and thus create a new human being who, after this first phase, enters an "embryo gallery" with all accompanying data which created him or her.
The second part of the project consists of the comparison between the society of the human beings the Internet users created and the real (normal) society of people.
The project will last for 6 months with a monthly reports containing analyisis of the entered data. All Internet users, who want to take a part in the project, are invited to join the mailing list and exchange through e-mails their opinions and deductions based on the obtained data, as well as opinions about other users' ideas.
