Emma Waters and Ruxandra Teslo debate the ethics of IVF and embryo selection, focusing on whether discarding genetically tested embryos constitutes an ethical violation or a valid reproductive choice.
Full episode
In this discussion hosted by Zach Weissmueller and Liz Wolfe, Emma Waters and Ruxandra Teslo debate the ethics and implications of genetic testing and selection in the context of in vitro fertilization (IVF). Waters raises concerns about the destruction of embryos based on genetic risk scores and argues for a consistent life ethic that values embryos as human beings. Teslo defends the use of IVF and genetic testing as tools to reduce suffering, particularly for women at risk of miscarriage, and emphasizing that participation in such technologies should remain a matter of personal choice. The conversation centers on the ethical boundaries of embryo selection, the purpose of reproductive technologies, and diverging views on what constitutes human life.
