A member asked:
Can you permanently change an inherited trait, such as hair or eye color?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: We do not know how to change the genetics so that the next generation can have a permanent change in features such as eye or hair color. Of course you could always dye your hair or wear colored contacts to achieve these goals if you wish these changes in yourself.
