Ethical Guidelines on PGD

Ethical guidelines on Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) ensure that genetic testing before embryo implantation is conducted responsibly. They emphasize respecting future child's welfare, informed parental choice, and preventing discrimination. These guidelines restrict use of PGD for non-medical reasons, such as selecting for appearance or gender, to avoid ethical issues and social inequality. Professionals must ensure informed consent, provide accurate information, and consider societal impacts. Overall, these principles aim to balance technological capabilities with moral responsibility, safeguarding individual rights while promoting ethical integrity in reproductive decision-making.
