Summary
Set inside the embryo, shortly after conception, and shortly before the cell splits, Making Babies follows the bureaucratic meeting of nine genes, seen as stereotypes of the traits they represent. As the Genes toil over what traits the infant will have, they are thrown by the arrival of a newcomer - a mutant gene. With time running out, the group is faced with the decision to block the mutant or allow him entry into the gene pool. What will they do?
