""For people that are risk averse and don't want to simply roll the dice, they come to us to try to get as much genomic information to pick embryos for the purpose of having happy, healthy, disease-free children.""
""We call it genetic optimization. We help people have their best babies.""
Polygenic embryo screening analyzes genetic samples to estimate the likelihood of embryos developing various diseases, including rare disorders and common conditions. Companies like Herasight and Nucleus Genomics offer services that not only assess health risks but also predict traits such as height and IQ. This genetic optimization aims to help parents select embryos that may lead to healthier children. However, professional organizations express concerns regarding the ethical implications of such genetic testing and selection.
