How Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) Works

In this video, CooperGenomics explains the Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis process. Every parent hopes for a healthy baby. If you are concerned that your children are at risk for inheriting a genetic disease, PGD is an option through IVF to give you the confidence that a healthy child is on the way.

The main ethical issue is that you are creating human beings and then eliminating the ones who have disorders.
I am not criticising parents who have this, I think it is very understandable to do this and the intetion behindit is a good intention, but I think life begins at conception, so It doesn't sit right with me to eliminate the person with a condition, even at this very early stage. I use person as another word for human by the way, I don't think it's a separate thing.
Of course the embryos here are not on a course to continue developing further as they need a urterus for that, so that makes it distinct from aborting the life of a disabled foetus or embryo in the womb. PGD is definitely preferable to that.

it's nice to play around with science, however, this hardly replaces quality DNA coming from a healthy lifestyle and a non-capitalist past.
this is more like a second chance for all those career girls who want it all - but will never have it.

I'm 37 and struggle with endometriosis and I don't think I'm a girl who wanted all and won't have it as you say. Sometimes natural pregnancies don't happen and you should learn more about it before you can even talk about it
