Note to anyone who is unfamiliar:

Technically, this approach does not avoid passing the genetic mutation to the children you conceive. Each embryo still has a 50/50 chance of inheriting it.

Instead, the embryos that have the genetic mutation are discarded, and only the embryos without the mutation are implanted.

If you believe that directly ending a human life at any stage, including embryonic development, is immoral or morally problematic, this is probably not an approach you would feel comfortable taking.

"using embryo selection" makes your point with far fewer words.

I don't see how else the word "selection" could be interpreted in this context.

I read the GP as an (oddly worded) effort to raise additional considerations.

[siftrics]

Fair enough.

don't you do embryo selection anyways when you use artificial insemination? then this would just be another test if the embryo is viable, making the moral question be the same that artificial insemination already poses.
