[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm beginning to think those Alabama judges had it right. [/quote]

Ok, you don’t do it then. That is your right. However, public opinion does not seem to be on your side in this matter considering the voter backlash to this decision. [/quote]

I don't think the public would like it if they knew people were selecting and destroying embryos for stuff like this either. I guess I was naive thinking this was mainly to screen for genetic abnormalities and disease.

Scary to think about being the kid whose parents paid 40k for 2 extra IQ points. That kid will never be allowed to disappoint their parents. [/quote]

The reason I did IVF to begin with was to screen for a very serious single gene hereditary disease that runs in the family. Most people do it for  infertility reasons, but a significant minority due it for family health reasons. I ended up with more embryos than I will likely be able to use so there is an outstanding question of how do I determine which one to implant first, 2nd and so on. I only did one IVF  cycle and I’m planning on having 1 or 2 kids, so it it unlikely that I will use all 10 embryos. If I only ended up with 3 or 4  embryos I would need most or all to have to kids, so I would not be asking the question about spending 40k on a new and largely untested technology. [/quote]
