Embryo Screening

Not only is embryo screening immoral but recent studies indicate that it doesn't work and may actually lead to a greater incidence of miscarriage:

An older woman's slim chances of getting pregnant could be made worse if embryos are screened for defects before being implanted into the womb, doctors said Wednesday.

Pregnancy and live birth rates were substantially lower among women whose embryos were screened compared with those whose were not, according to a study presented Wednesday at a Lyon meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology.

This must be bitter irony for the practitioners of in vitro fertilization who sell selective parenthood by "creating" embryos and exercising god-like authority over these undeveloped humans according to the preferences of their parents.
