Gene selection technologies involve using methods to alter or select genes in embryos to influence traits or prevent diseases.

You are a young woman who is comfortable in her career, but has always wanted to find a husband and have a family. You have never desired fame, but other methods of dating have not allowed you to meet the 'one'. You decide to apply for a matchmaking reality tv show 'Married at Second Sight', an experiment which lasts 4 weeks. You start off by getting married to stranger that relationship experts have matched with you. You spend a honeymoon together, move into an apartment, and are provided with tasks to fast-track your relationship and get to know each other. You also meet with other couples in the experiment at weekly dinner parties. Your partner seems like a decent person, but not your usual type. So far, you do not feel a romantic spark. Others have had tumultuous relationships, where they are obviously not suited, whilst others are very obviously in love.

It is the first couch session, where you discuss your relationship with the experts and decide if you wish to extend your stay in the experiment for another month."
