The creation of a Specialist is a long and arduous process. First, the geneticist must design the Specialist. This often requires months, if not years of searching for a genetic blueprint that is a good match for the job this Specialist will be designed to do, and sampling of thousands of people's DNA. For example, a tendency towards broad shoulders and a strong back would be good qualities for a ditch digger. Specialist companies often spend billions of credits amassing a database of high-quality genetic blueprints. Eighth, the Specialists are sold to the public.
