Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) is a test that screens for genetic flaws among embryos used in in vitro fertilisation (IVF). With PGD, DNA samples from embryos created in vitro by the combination of a mother’s egg and a father’s sperm are analyzed for gene abnormalities that can cause serious genetic illnesses. This procedure is harmless to the embryo, as it occurs about three days after conception when the embryo is at the four to ten cell stage of development, a point at which the cells are totipotent.

Now, this will mean that some embryos will be disgarded... But PGD could conceivably eradicate all human genetic disease....
While PGD does raise major ethical questions, this scepticism is a little misplaced. Far from PGD devaluing the worthiness of the life of a child suffering from a severe genetic illness, it gives us our first glance at the possibility of entirely eradicating these illnesses.

So. Do you think PGD should be allowed?

I think it should be the discretion of the parents. I personally would not want to use it. I do not have a problem with other parents using it if they deem it necessary.
