Controversies in Genetic Screening

This chapter delves into the practices of Heliospect Genomics, a tech startup that offers genetic screening for prospective parents, allowing them to select embryos based on traits like intelligence and height. Through undercover investigations, ethical concerns regarding the 'designing' of babies and the use of predictive genetic technologies are raised. The discussion emphasizes the complex interplay of genetics and environment in determining traits, highlighting the moral implications of embryo selection and the uncertain outcomes of such technology.
