Sometimes in pop culture, people hear about these different things where you actually take twins and they have, again, the same DNA, their identical DNA.
And then they grow up in different places for whatever reason.
So they're subject to different environments.
And then you can actually measure basically how much more similar they, how similar they are across all these different phenotypes to see basically how genetic something is.
Twin studies.
Yes, twin studies.
Yes.
And so using twin studies, you can actually get measurements of things from diseases, like cancers and diabetes and Alzheimer's, as mentioned, to things like height or IQ or BMI, et cetera.
So twin studies show that IQ specifically is about 50% genetic.
But to be clear, IQ is just one of over 2,000 factors that we actually look at.
Principally, parents and patients, they come for disease.
They always come for disease.
And remember that when the embryos you're picking from
the most important determinant of the genetics of your embryos is, well, your partner, right?
So you're actually not changing DNA.
This is not gene editing.
You're not changing DNA.
You're not making like an embryo's DNA better.
You're basically reading the embryo's DNA that you have.
So when you pick your partner, you're basically picking the kind of genetic pool, and then you can basically pick which embryo you deem to be best based off of your preferences and values.
