A faux-corporate website www.nextgencode.com, complete with a picture of a sinister company headquarters, lets you browse the product line and see the "specials" on a gene for glossier hair or sharper vision or "BLSHt, for better verbal facility." You can meet the "staff," including a warm, smiling Dr. Melinda Johnson ("at NEXTgencode, I give parents the children they always wanted"). Anyone worried that natural blonds are an endangered...
