So this kind of research feels top of mind right now. But the causes for these conditions are not always clear. So they give each embryo risk scores based on their calculation of probability that a kid might develop these conditions. Now, we're a long way from becoming like the society in Gattaca. These tests are expensive and only available through IVF.

But I want to know, what makes these tests appealing? And what would it mean for us culturally if this kind of testing becomes more widespread? I sat down with Vardit Ravitsky, who you heard earlier. Thank you so much. And Katie Hassan, Associate Director of the Center for Genetics and Society, a nonprofit public affairs organization that advocates for responsible use of genetic technology.

Thank you for having us. Let's get into it. What is the promise for potential parents? Why might they be drawn to polygenic embryo screening and how could it be helpful?

So I see the promise for potential parents, the idea that they can have the healthiest child that is available to them with the best possible health outcomes. But from my understanding, this test mainly shows the percentages of a likelihood that a child would have a given condition or given trait.

And famously, you know, one's environment can be just as important as genetics for how people develop. So how accurate is this screening?

Hmm. So we reached out to Orchid and Heliospect for comment, and they did not respond. But thinking more about how these services came to be, why have other countries limited this kind of screening?

Wait, so other countries do have fertility industry regulatory bodies?
