The CEO of a genetics company says parents should have the right to choose their unborn child's traits. Kian Sadeghi, the 25-year-old founder of Nucleus Genomics, made the statement in a recent television interview.
He argued that parents are entitled to select desired qualities in their children. Sadeghi leads a firm specializing in genetic analysis.
The concept, known as "embryo selection," involves choosing embryos based on genetic predispositions. This practice uses reproductive technology to screen for specific traits.
The CEO's comments add to a global ethical debate. Critics warn such selection could lead to designer babies and increase societal inequality.
