Actually this procedure is not 100% but they say the success rate is higher in people from Finland, Norway and those areas where the blood is not mixed.

Genetics Company Awarded Patent for System to Create Designer Babies
This week the genetics world exploded with discussion about a new patent just issued by the U.S. Patent Office to a California company, 23andMe. 23andMe is a direct-to-consumer genetic testing company that offers genetic information to anyone who sends in a saliva sample and a fee.
23andMe was awarded a patent on their inheritance calculator, a feature where prospective parents can figure out the likely traits their children will have. The controversy surrounds the patent's extension into the fertility industry where this technology could be used to screen donor egg and sperm to create a child with desired physical attributes. Ref.
