ABSTRACT:
A system for producing virtual offspring including means for acquiring genetic material from users. The system further includes means for analyzing the acquired genetic material for determining at least one trait corresponding to the genetic material. A user database stores user data representing the at least one trait for each respective one of the users. A search mechanism allows the users to search the stored user data for users having at least one desirable trait. The system also includes means for virtually combining genetic material of a first user with genetic material of a selected second user for producing a virtual offspring. The first user inputs the at least one desirable trait into the searching mechanism and the searching mechanism retrieves users having the at least one input desired trait. The virtual combining means combines said genetic material from said first user and a selected one of the users having the at least one input desired trait to produce a virtual offspring from genetic material of each of the first and second users.
