On the topic of PIGD there were many ethical reasons on both sides of the spectrum for this procedure to which I found my opinion fell in between. I would have to say though that I do strongly support PIGD but I can see an reason why others wouldn't. PIGD is the process used to test embryos for potentially fatal and nonfatal diseases and are not regulated by the government. Many argued that the government needed to step up an set up regulations but i believe that it should fall under the clinics moral judgment of what is wrong and right as the government should not have the power over how you conceive your children. The con to this is that many abuse the lack of regulation and even ask for their children to have the diseases or even give them the diseases they wouldn't have had without tamperering. But I feel that the pros outweigh the cons as many parents don't want to see their child live a life of suffering and judgment. Yes, in a perfect world we could say they would live without judgment and scrutiny but that is not the world we live in, we live in a world where we have shows that expose the diseases as to help give a better understanding. One of the most controversial arguments is that parents ask for the embryo to be structured and built around their current diseased child so that the new embryo can be a donor. It is argued that the parents would not love the new child the same only used as a donor. I find this false as they would prize and treasure the child who can now help their current sibling be healthy.
