The founder of a genetic testing company is defending the practice of screening embryos for non-medical traits. Kian Sadeghi, CEO of Nucleus Genomics, calls this "genetic optimization."
Sadeghi, 25, stated that every parent should have the right to select desired qualities in their future children. He emphasized that embryo DNA screening can prevent serious hereditary diseases.
However, the practice raises significant ethical questions. Critics are concerned about selecting embryos for traits like height or intelligence.
Sadeghi addressed these concerns directly but maintained his support for the technology. He argues it represents a matter of parental choice and genetic health.
