TI  - Extending preimplantation genetic diagnosis: medical and non-medical uses.
PG  - 213-6
AB  - New uses of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) to screen embryos prior to 
      transfer raise ethical, legal, and policy issues that deserve close attention. 
      Extensions for medical purposes, such as to identify susceptibility genes, late 
      onset disease, and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matching, are usually ethically 
      acceptable. Whether embryo screening for gender, perfect pitch, or other 
      non-medical characteristics are also acceptable depends upon the parental needs 
      served and the harm posed to embryos, children, and society. Speculations about 
      potential future uses of PGD should not prevent otherwise acceptable current uses 
      of PGD.
