While PGD offers many advantages, it also has limitations and risks. Some of the key considerations include:
Accuracy: Although highly accurate, PGD is not 100% foolproof. There is a small chance of false negatives or positives. Embryo viability: Not all embryos may survive the biopsy process, which can impact the overall success rates of IVF. Ethical concerns: The selection of embryos based on genetic criteria raises ethical questions, particularly regarding the potential for "designer babies." Emotional and financial costs: The process can be emotionally taxing and financially expensive, often requiring multiple IVF cycles.
