Reproductive technology allows us to test embryos' genes before deciding whether to transfer them to a woman's uterus. Embryo selection raises many ethical questions but is virtually unregulated in the United States. This comprehensive study considers the ethical, medical, political, and economic aspects of developing appropriate regulation.

The most profound dilemma in assisted reproduction to date is the inability to recognize potentially viable embryos before their replacement into the reproductive tract. Application of increasingly advanced new technology has allowed the field of embryo evaluation to evolve rapidly and dramatically over the past five years.Human Preimplantation Emb

Abstract: The prenatal screening technologies are there and will be refined and used. However, prospective parents should be given a broad picture, including information from families with similarly impaired children and from disabled adults, and then be supported in their own choice. Different parents will then make different choices. Dóra S. Bjarnason, in "Is life worth living if you have a disability?" "The best way to have talented children is still to choose a talented spouse. Parents usually only wish that their children are healthy. And if they are not, they accept them anyway." Outi Hovatta, in "The new reproductive biology medical and technical possibilities vs. ethical and legal concerns" "In the future, stem cell lines may be created from an HLA-identical embryo as identified by PGD. This would be an alternative for parents with a sick child without taking any risks associated with the creative of a potential donor child, and it may work much faster and thus increase the chance of benefit to the sick child" Gisela Dahlquist, in "The child's perspective and the parents' who should decide?" "There seems to be a common perception about which foetal or embryo condition could justify selection. The regulation will point at severe disorders, however, without indicating specifically which disorders could be considered sufficiently severe." Mette Hartlev, in "Legislation and regulations in the Nordic countries. Is there a Nordic dimension?" "Personally I hold the view that well-founded doubt about the rightness of our moral deliberations, practices and visions is always better than unjustified confidence and conviction, even when we strive to decipher the moral status of unborn babies and supernumerary fertilised eggs. Consequently, I feel it is justified to remain in doubt about the exact nature of their moral status." Jan Helge Solbakk, in "On the moral status of unborn babies and supernumerary fertilised eggs" "In developing countries, particularly in an Islamic context where there is a high premium placed on couples having at least one male offspring, the availability of pgd for non-medical reasons does have a positive effect."

Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) is now well established as a valuable treatment option for patients wishing to start or continue a family, for a range of indications from advanced maternal age to high risk of transmitting inherited disease. This text brings together contemporary thinking from international opinion leaders and will be an invaluable guide for practitioners in Reproductive Medicine wishing to keep pace with the latest developments and clinical data.

'Born and Made' examines the case of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), the procedure used to prevent serious genetic disease by embryo selection, and the so-called 'designer baby' method. It shows that far from being a runaway technology, the regulation of PGD provides an example of precaution and restraint.

Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) is the detection and screening of genetic abnormality in gametes prior to fertilisation and embryos fertilised in vitro prior to implantation. This exciting new text provides an introduction and overview of the principles of PGD. An exciting fusion of prenatal diagnosis (PD) with in vitro fertilisation (IVF), this book is will appeal to both the prenatal diagnosis community, of clinical geneticists and foetal medicine specialists within obstetrics and gynaecology, and the IVF community within reproductive medicine. It is also an essential introduction to PD, clinical genetics and IVF for non-specialists. A concise introduction to the field of PGD Detailed explanations of the techniques and procedures used The law and ethical implications of PGD Future uses of PGD

The success of Assisted Reproductive Technology is critically dependent upon the use of well optimized protocols, based upon sound scientific reasoning, empirical observations and evidence of clinical efficacy. Recently, the treatment of infertility has experienced a revolution, with the routine adoption of increasingly specialized molecular biological techniques and advanced methods for the manipulation of gametes and embryos. This textbook – inspired by the postgraduate degree program at the University of Oxford – guides students through the multidisciplinary syllabus essential to ART laboratory practice, from basic culture techniques and micromanipulation to laboratory management and quality assurance, and from endocrinology to molecular biology and research methods. Written for all levels of IVF practitioners, reproductive biologists and technologists involved in human reproductive science, it can be used as a reference manual for all IVF labs and as a textbook by undergraduates, advanced students, scientists and professionals involved in gamete, embryo or stem cell biology.

This collection of original essays explores the social and relational dimensions of individual autonomy. Rejecting the feminist charge that autonomy is inherently masculinist, the contributors draw on feminist critiques of autonomy to challenge and enrich contemporary philosophical debates about agency, identity, and moral responsibility. The essays analyze the complex ways in which oppression can impair an agent's capacity for autonomy, and investigate connections, neglected by standard accounts, between autonomy and other aspects of the agent, including self-conception, self-worth, memory, and the imagination.
