You have some problems then.

One problem is the traditional one of finding a
suitable mate.

Another is finding a clinic willing to help you, and
the cash needed to finance the project.

Engineering humans is still at a primitive state
of development - but some cash ought to be able to
locate a clinic that can at least do pre-implantation
genetic diagnosis (PGD) - and is prepared to fertilise
many eggs, test them, and then implant the best ones.

If you happen to live in a backward country that
does not allow post-natal abortions, such a process
should at least be able to minimise the chances of
you being stuck with a child with autism - or some
other crippling but non-fatal pathology.
