Unless, Mr Worf, some movie mogul gets word that the kid is so-and-so's
genetic spawn, and decides to do a bit of grooming, at studio expense, in
exchange for a picture deal.

 ?

 Now you can have it, for a price... kind of.

 A Los Angeles http://www.nbcbayarea.com/topics?topic=Los+Angelessperm 
 bank announced today that it has started posting photos of celebrities
 who resemble their donors to give prospective clients a better idea of 
 what
 their potential offspring might look like.

 The number one client question we get is: 'Who does this donor look
 like?'  said Scott 
 Brownhttp://www.nbcbayarea.com/topics?topic=Scott+Brownof California
 Cryobank http://www.cryobank.com/Donor-Search/Look-A-Likes/. We
 decided this would be a great way to give thorough and consistent answers.
 Clients love it. Look-a-Likes has only been available for a week and our
 website traffic is up 50 percent.

  Brown said the sperm bank is choosy, accepting fewer than 1 percent of
 people who apply to be donors. The screening process includes genetic
 testing, regular blood tests, a three-generation family medical history, 
 and
 a sperm count/quality in the top 15 percent of the population, he said.

 A group of employees spent six months putting together the photos and
 matching them to donors.

 Clients can search for attributes such as height or eye and hair color,
 and the database will return a list of donors who each have two or three
 celebrity look-alikes. Users also can choose from an existing library of
 celebrities to generate a list of matching donors, according to California
 Cyrobank, which was started in 1977.
