[quote=Anonymous]I would discard it. The science will on repairing DNA is in it's infancy and the odds that this embryo will be repaired is pretty much 0. There was a paper that came out in Nature this week about correcting a 4 base-pair mutation on a gene related to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. But 1) the correction had to be done at the time of fertilization. Once the egg is fertilized and the cells have started to replicate, the DNA is set and the correction can't be made 2) You have an entire piece of chromosome missing in the embryos. This is way bigger than replacing a couple of base pair. I suspect the doctor just wants the fees for freezing the embryo.[/quote]
