embryonic manipulation

Embryonic manipulation involves carefully altering or managing embryos during early developmental stages to influence traits or prevent genetic diseases. Techniques include procedures like removing or replacing genetic material, modifying genes directly, or altering the embryo’s environment to promote desired outcomes. These methods are used in research and medicine, such as in genetic engineering or fertility treatments, and require specialized knowledge to ensure safety and effectiveness. Essentially, it’s a precise way of guiding early development with the goal of improving health or specific characteristics.
