Lynda, since the launch of Orchid's embryo selection service, a large number of geneticists have used data to select which embryo to gestate. It is easy to know the height and other physical traits of your future children by looking at the embryo data

Kevin Lala summarises why intuitive scientific racism is wrong:
-human genetic diversity is miniscule
-single-genome type local adaptations are not mapped onto social racial categories
-social-racial social outcomes due to non genetic inheritance.
Scientists have to resist misuse of our work!

indeed, DNA of an embryo determines almost all of the traits the adult human will have. that is why scientists with financial resources are selecting embryos based on polygenic risk scores and not having babies the old fashioned way www.thetimes.com/business-mon...
Designer babies are here. Would you feel guilty spurning a genetic test?
A start-up called Orchid says the future is IVF, and screenings for health disorders so parents can choose the ‘best embryo’. What next? Tests for IQ and hair colour?
