My mom lost her vision to the genetic lottery. Thanks to Orchid’s embryo screening, I know my kids won’t.

4% of humanity lives with a monogenic disease, most have no cure. At WIRED Health I shared how embryo screening can take genetic risks off the table before pregnancy starts.

Female founder building embryo screening to help reduce genetic disease risk. Really impactful tech

What makes Bluesky different: it’s open source, so anyone can contribute to building the experience they want. And even if you build a whole new app, the protocol means you can migrate with your data, identity, and relationships intact.

The eternally-great thing about open source: if something doesn't exist, and the devs don't have time to work on it themselves, you can just implement it for them!

If they decide not to take it as-is, you've still helped explore the design space.

And if they don't accept it, but you need it, fork!

Figured out enough of the rsky-relay internals to implement this myself (reporting the data that it currently records):

Funny interview with a sensational headline. To be clear Orchid does NOT select (or “enhance”) embryos! We give parents 100x the genetic data to mitigate risk for serious diseases other tests miss. Parents decide what’s right for their family with their doctor.
