Recent advancements in Genetic Engineering may lead to drastic improvements in handrail design.

Scientist in Norway have genetically altered the DNA of toddlers resulting in a minimum of 4″ diameter heads. Additionally, by splicing the Y chromosone, Toddlers can be prevented from climbing ladders. Architects around the world have already started redesigning handrails.

“Finally, we can use horizontal tension rods for the handrails without fear of toddlers climbing them and plummeting to their death” said NYC Architect Svehn Fjord. “the design possibilities are endless, we can do almost any design we can dream of, Seriously?, irregardless of building code restrictions?”, Svehn continued.

Work continues at the Norwegian lab. Soon they hope to genetically reduce the height of toddlers.

“What?, we could make a railing lower than 42″ high?, that would be freaking awesome” said Svehn.
