Genetic Upgrades
.

Transhuman medical technology allows for handpicking parts of the human genome for your offspring. This eugenic practice goes from the screening out of hereditary diseases to selecting particular desirable traits. Unlike Parahumans, these Genetic Upgrades' genome remains fully human, since no animal or artificial genes are included. They are capable of interbreeding amongst themselves and with the human norm, without medical assistance.
