Welcome to my blog about PGD (Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis), a scientific method used to select for or against a certain trait in human embryos.
I believe that PGD is acceptable in order to make sure that your child doesn't suffer from a hereditary disease, however I believe that using it to select traits such as the child's gender, or even such superficial things as hair or eye colour is absolutely inexcusable and should remain illegal.
In this blog I aim to explore the reasons and research behind my standpoint on PGD, and educate others about the negative impacts on society that could be caused if PGD is legal for anything that the parents wish to decide about their baby.
I hope you find my posts informing and that I can persuade you to share my view that PGD is a good thing for determining genetic disorders in embryos, but a bad thing for society when used for other purposes.
