Ethics and the future of preimplantation genetic diagnosis.
The future growth of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) will depend on refinements in genetic knowledge and genetic analysis of blastomeres. Equally important, however, is an acceptance of the ethical legitimacy of parents using technologies to select genetic traits of offspring. Objections based on embryo status, the giftedness of reproduction, eugenics, and protecting the child's welfare...
متن کاملPreimplantation genetic diagnosis: the ethics of intermediate cases.
According to the current guiding principle regarding preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), the technique should focus on the diagnosis of genetic defects which (may) affect the health of this particular potential child--the so-called 'medical model'. I argue in favour of a more permissive view, also allowing PGD of characteristics which may be relevant for the health of 'third parties'. Two ...
متن کاملPreimplantation Genetic Diagnosis
Inherited genetic diseases have been a problem for some families attempting to conceive a child. If affected parents or carriers of genetic disorders wished to avoid transmitting a condition to their child, they can choose to have prenatal diagnosis of their foetus. Amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling enables cells from the foetus to be collected and sent for genetic analysis. They could...
متن کاملPreimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is a reproductive technology used with an in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle to increase the potential for a successful pregnancy and delivery. The most common applications for PGD include testing for extra or missing chromosomes (aneuploidy screening), familial structural chromosome rearrangements, and diagnosis of genetic disease in couples of increased...
متن کاملPreimplantation genetic diagnosis.
This article covers the rapidly advancing field of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), the molecular genetic analysis of cells taken from embryos formed through in vitro fertilization (IVF). The article focuses on current practices in patient management, relevant IVF and PGD procedures, molecular methods used in the genetic analysis, and technical difficulties that can affect test results....
