It is now possible to have human embryos produced via in vitro (test tube) fertilization (IVF) tested for many different genetic diseases. The technique used to do this is called âpre-implantation genetic diagnosisâ (PIGD). It is also possible for sperm/egg donor banks to carry out a fertilization event on paper before it is done in vitro. Discuss a genetic disease which can be diagnosed and may be a good candidate to be diagnosed early and avoided using the techniques listed above. Include a reference in your post.
Weigh in on the topic of PIGD in conjunction with IVF pointing out what you think are the pros and cons of this developing and ever-improving technology.
Respond to Others: Read the postings of your classmates and comment on at least one other student's response. Do you agree with his/her interpretation? Why? Why not?
